The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the country and leads the judicial branch of the federal government. It is often referred to by the acronym SCOTUS.[1]

The Supreme Court began hearing cases for the term on October 3, 2022. The court's yearly term begins on the first Monday in October and lasts until the first Monday in October the following year. The court generally releases the majority of its decisions in mid-June.[2]

On February 25, 2022, President Joe Biden (D) announced he would nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Justice Stephen Breyer.[3] She was confirmed by the Senate in a 53-47 vote on April 7, 2022.[4] Justice Breyer retired on June 30, 2022, and Justice Jackson took her oath of office on the same day.[5][6] Click here to read more.

The court agreed to hear 60 cases during its 2022-2023 term.[7] One case was dismissed.[8]

The court issued decisions in 58 cases this term. Of the 60 cases accepted, one case, Arizona v. Mayorkas, was de-calendared and remanded to the lower court where SCOTUS instructed that it be dismissed as moot. One case, Securities and Exchange Commission v. Cochran, was consolidated when the opinion was released. Between 2007 and 2021, SCOTUS released opinions in 1,128 cases, averaging 75 cases per year.

Cases by circuit

Article III, Section 2 of the United States Constitution establishes the court's jurisdiction. The court has original jurisdiction—when it is the first and only to hear a case—and appellate jurisdiction—when it reviews the decisions of lower courts.[9]

Parties petition SCOTUS to hear a case if they are not satisfied with a lower court's decision. The parties petition the court to grant a writ of certiorari. A writ of certiorari is an "order issued by the U.S. Supreme Court directing the lower court to transmit records for a case it will hear on appeal."[9][10]
