According to an information guide for Supreme Court law clerks, the average time from argument to decision is approximately 81 days, except for cases heard on an emergency basis.
The guidebook warns this number is skewed by administrative decisions that may take only a few days. Other cases are beset by unavoidable delays attributed to the rules of the court and procedural and substantive due process (requests from one of the parties for extensions, enlargement of the record, etc.).
Occasionally, a non-emergent case may be decided in as few as 21 days, or, on rarer occasions may carry into the next Term due to reargument.
A survey of cases argued in the 2008-2009 Term revealed a few decisions delivered as quickly as five weeks after oral arguments, one delivered 26 weeks afterward, and another delivered slightly more than 30 weeks afterward. The majority of rulings seemed to fall in the range of 14-16 weeks after oral arguments.
That depends on the case. Often, the state supreme court is the end of the road for a case, making the decision of the state supreme court final and binding. Sometimes cases involved federal questions (issues arising under the US Constitution or federal law) that allow them to be appealed to the US Supreme Court. If the US Supreme Court hears such a case, it may affirm or overturn the state supreme court decision.
The Supreme Court must have a simple majority to render a decision in a case.
