Arguing Counsel

Panel That Day

0 of 4 cases argued September 16, 2026 before this panel have been decided.

Authorship Outlook

No opinions from this panel have been decided yet, so authorship can't be narrowed — the 4 pending opinions could come from any of the panelists.

This is a statistical guess based on prior sittings in this dataset, not a prediction of the ruling.

Predicted Opinion Release

Likely between November 10, 2026 and July 4, 2027, with January 4, 2027 the most likely date.

Argued 42 days ago. Comparable cases at this stage almost always still pending — there's no useful tightening yet.
