When do US Supreme Court Terms begin and end and how many months do the justices hear arguments?

The Supreme Court Term begins the first Monday in October (October 3, in 2011) and ends the first Monday in October of the following year; however, the Justices actively hear arguments and announce decisions from October until late June or early July.The Court divides its time into sessions of approximately four weeks. Each session is subdivided into "sittings," which are typically two-week periods during which the Justices hear arguments, and "recesses," during the alternating two weeks where they hold conferences, write opinions and conduct other business of the Court. They may hear as many as 24 cases each sitting.The Court employs this rotating schedule until all docketed cases are reviewed, usually by the end of April or early May. During May and June, the Justices announce orders and decisions; from July through September, they read petitions for writs of certiorari and discuss cases for the upcoming term.Under this schedule, the Supreme Court hears arguments 6-7 months of the year.from October to July (GradPoint)To learn why the Supreme Court Term begins the first Monday in October, see Related Questions, below.


What is the regular schedule of the US Supreme Court?

The US Supreme Court Term begins the first Monday in October and ends in the latter part of June or early July. During these months, the Court alternates two-week sittings, when the justices hear oral arguments, with two week recesses, when they write opinions and tend to the administrative business of the Court. The Supreme Court maintains a calendar on their official site that shows which dates the Court is sitting and which it is recessed (see home page). For more information, see Related Links, below.


On what days does the US Supreme Court hear oral arguments?

The US Supreme Court hears oral arguments three days a week, on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00 am until noon (and occasional afternoon sessions from 1:00 to 3:00) in two-week rotations, called "sittings." The justices meet to discuss and vote on the cases on Thursdays and Fridays. They write opinions and conduct other business of the Court on the two "off" weeks when arguments are not presented.


Ask us statement best summarizes the inaccuracy contained in this description of the Supreme Court's decision-making process?

Justices write opinions after the verdict has been determined, not before public arguments.
