2024 term per curiam opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States
The Supreme Court of the United States has so far handed down six per curiam opinions during its 2024 term, which began October 7, 2024, and will conclude October 5, 2025.[1]
Because per curiam decisions are issued from the Court as an institution, these opinions all lack the attribution of authorship or joining votes to specific justices. All justices on the Court at the time the decision was handed down are assumed to have participated and concurred unless otherwise noted.
