Supreme Court 2023 Term

The U.S. Supreme Court October 2023 Term (2023-24) agreed, as of March 15, 2024, to hear only 62 cases during this term, one of which it dismissed. Only 60 cases were scheduled for oral argument.

The Court has been slow to issue decisions: only 20 out of 61 by May 9, 2024.

The last two decades have been less productive on the Court than earlier periods, but this term is way below even prior years. For example, between the Court's 2007 and 2022 October Terms, it averaged 74.3 cases annually.
