The Supreme Court Term begins the first Monday in October (October 4, in 2010) and ends the first Monday in October of the following year; however, the Justices actively hear arguments and announce decisions from October until late June or early July.

Public sessions are held three days a week, Monday through Wednesday, with arguments beginning at 10 am and ending at noon, although afternoon sessions docketed as needed. This allows the Court to hear two or three cases per day. The Court follows a rotating schedule where they sit for two weeks, then write opinions and conduct other administrative business for two weeks, until the end of April. From April through late June or early July, the Court only convenes to announce opinions for cases heard during the Term.
