The US Supreme Court's new term opens on Monday with a docket that includes significant test cases on religion, guns and climate change, according to NPR.
Alongside the scheduled cases, the court's so-called emergency docket — used for urgent requests that bypass the court's standard briefing and argument schedule — has continued to see frequent activity, a pattern NPR describes as persistent in recent terms.
NPR's report did not specify the names or full details of the individual cases involving religion, guns and climate change that are set to come before the justices this term, but characterized the term overall as “jam-packed with controversy.”
The Supreme Court's terms typically run from early October through the following summer, with major rulings often issued toward the end of the term. The mix of high-profile issues on this term's docket is expected to draw significant public and legal attention as arguments proceed.
Further details on specific cases and their scheduling are expected to be reported as the term progresses.
