As of August 7, 2015, there have been roughly 35 grants by the Supreme Court of [[certiorari]], of which about a dozen have been scheduled already for oral argument.  Put another way, about half of the Term has been filled, with the other half completed by grants of cert. that occur from around Oct. 1 through early 2016.

Here is an overview of the 35 cases:
 +
 +
*[[Eighth Amendment]] ([[capital punishment]]) - 4 cases, three of which will be argued together
 +
*[[affirmative action]] case, on its second trip to the Supreme Court, in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, No. 14-981
 +
 +
Perhaps surprisingly, there are no [[Fourth Amendment]] cases among the 35.
