The Supreme Court's docket is like an agenda of cases to be heard during a particular Term (cases are usually argued two weeks per month, between the first Monday in October and the end of April).
The docket contains information that helps justices, parties to the case and the public quickly locate important information about the case, such as case name, docket number(s), status, etc.

Information is still being compiled for the current Term, so this page will change as the schedule is updated and more data becomes available.
