The morning read for Monday, Oct. 7
on Oct 7, 2024 at 10:16 am
Good morning, today is the first day of the Supreme Court’s 2024-25 term. On Friday, the justices added 15 cases to their docket, though so far cases have only been scheduled for oral arguments through mid-November. The justices also released orders this morning, denying review of hundreds of petitions they considered at last week’s “long conference.” The term will start today with oral arguments in Williams v. Washington and Royal Canin U.S.A. v. Wullschleger.
