Oral arguments, no conference, this week

May 18, 2025

On Wednesday and Thursday, in San Francisco, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the eight cases on its late-May calendar. (May is the only month with two argument calendars.)

The arguments will be live streamed. Opinions in the cases should file by August 18. However, in one death penalty appeal (People v. Cardenas), some supplemental briefing won’t be completed until after the argument, which could delay submission of the case and, therefore, possibly also the filing of the opinion. (See here.)

Because of the oral arguments, the court will not be conferencing (also here) this week and there will be a double conference next week.
