DOCKET

The automated docket system is the Court's case tracking system. It contains information about cases, both pending and decided. The docket provided on this page contains information regarding the status of cases for both the current Term and the prior Term. The Court's Term begins on the first Monday in October and ends on the preceding day the next year. The October Term 2008 begins on October 6, 2008. Information on the docket is updated on the day after an entry is made on the docket.

Users can search for cases by using a Supreme Court docket number, a lower court docket number, or a case name. The format for Supreme Court docket numbers is "Term year-number" (e.g., 06-123; 07-12; 06-5001.). Word searches can also be accomplished.

Questions Presented. Internet users can review the Questions Presented in granted and noted cases simply by clicking on the hyperlink located within the Docket's case summary information for a particular case.

Once the hyperlink is clicked, the user will be linked to a .pdf  file setting forth the Question(s) Presented in the case.
