The Supreme Court is deciding cases faster this term than in recent years. By the middle of January this term, the justices had already issued seven decisions in argued cases, amounting to about 12.5 percent of the Court’s expected output for the term, according to data from SCOTUSblog. The number is a significant increase from the previous two terms, when less than 5 percent of cases had been decided by that point. Only two decisions were issued between October and January in the 2023-2024
