April 30, 2023, 11:00 AM UTCWASHINGTON — Back in 1923, the Supreme Court had issued 157 rulings by May 1 in a term that started the previous fall.
In fact, the court has decided fewer cases at this point of the term — which begins each October and ends in June — than at any time in the last 100 years, according to numbers compiled by Supreme Court stats guru Adam Feldman. Nevertheless, the slow pace at which rulings have been issued this term has started to attract scrutiny from court watchers.
"I think the court is slower this year, but it has been pretty slow in recent years, too," said Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a member of court's 6-3 conservative majority,in issuing decisions in January, saying at a public event that the court was"off and running" and that he was confident all the rulings would be issued by the end of June.
