The US Supreme Court rises at the end of June, but does not remain in recess long; over the summer they review cases for the upcoming Term, then hold a conference in late August to discuss which cases they want to hear. The new Term always begins on the first Monday in October.

The US Supreme Court Term, which is the proper word for their annual "session," begins the first Monday in October and ends the first Monday in October of the following year.

The Court typically hears oral arguments from October until the end of April, then convenes in May and June only to render opinions on cases. The Court rises at the end of June or early July, and reviews petitions for writs certiorari and conducts other business between then and the beginning of the next Term.

When hearing oral arguments, the day's session begins at 10:00 am and runs approximately until noon. The justices sometimes hold court in the afternoon, as well.

A US Supreme Court Term begins the first Monday in October and ends the first Monday in October of the following year.

During the year, the Justices hear cases from October through the end of April, and only take the bench to announce opinions during May and June. The Court rises at the end of June or early July after it has disposed of all the cases on its docket for the year. While the justices are out of the public view, their work continues as they prepare for the next Term. ,lk mk,m n

The customary date is the first Monday in October (as popularized by the 1975 play and the 1981 movie of the same name).

The date was changed in 1916 from the second Monday to the first (set by statute in 1873).

What is the US judicial system made up of?

The United States has a dual judicial system made up of the Judicial Branch of the US federalgovernment and the individual judicial branches of the 50 State governments. The judicial branches, or court systems, consist of the courts and their employees, such as justices, judges, government prosecutors, public defenders and other attorneys, administrative staff, clerks of court, and many other people.The judicial branches are independent of each other, with the state courts having jurisdiction over city, county and state laws and state constitutional issues, and the federal courts having jurisdiction over federal laws, treaties, and US constitutional issues. Sometimes cases that begin in state courts may be moved to or appealed to federal courts, but only under special circumstances.Each judicial branch uses a similar process to try cases, and each has trial courts, intermediate appellate courts, and a supreme court (or its equivalent).

How many cases are heard each session of the supreme court?

That depends on what you mean by a "business session."The Supreme Court year is called a Term (begins on the first Monday of October and ends the first Monday of October in the following year). Terms are divided into sittings, two-week rotations in which the court is either actively hearing arguments followed by two weeks of administrative work when they write opinions.The US Supreme Court receives approximately 8,000petitions for writ of certiorari (appeals request) from federal and state courts each year. They can only accept 1-2% of these cases for review because of the tremendous amount of time and work involved in researching and deciding cases.The justices choose approximately 70-85 cases to hear each Term.The justices hear 12-18 cases per two-week sitting, or 1-2 cases per day for three days of each sitting from October through the end of April.
