- by law the Supreme Court's term begins on the first Monday in October
- Court hears oral arguments in cases from October to April
- October-December arguments heard during first two weeks of each month. January-April arguments heard during last two weeks of each month
- Oral arguments heard Monday Tuesday Wednesday
- When oral arguments are concluded the Justices have to decide the case. They do so at the Justices'conference
- Conferences are held on Wednesday and Friday afternoons
- Justices vote on cases heard Monday and Tuesday at their Wednesday afternoon conference
- Justices vote on cases heard on Wednesday at their Friday afternoon conference
- The first order of business is to discuss the weeks petitions for certiorari, Deciding which cases to accept or reject
So if the first order of business is to discuss the weeks petitions for certiori, does it seem correct that they will decide on Nov 1 to accept or reject our case?
