A
Term of the United States Supreme Court begins, by statute, on
the first Monday in October. Usually Court sessions continue until
late June or early July. The Term is divided between “sittings,”
when the Justices hear cases and deliver opinions, and intervening
“recesses,” when they consider the business before
the Court and write opinions. Sittings and recesses alternate
at approximately two-week intervals. With rare exceptions, each
side is allowed 30 minutes argument and up to 24 cases may be
argued at one sitting. Since the majority of cases involve the
review of a decision of some other court, there is no jury and
no witnesses are heard. For each case, the Court has before it
a record of prior proceedings and printed briefs containing the
arguments of each side. |
