Next Monday we will see Snope and Ocean State Tactical granted cert or relisted.
Right now, there are 100s of lawyers writing briefs for these cases. I expect to see over a thousand pages submitted to the Supreme Court.
Bruen was distributed for Conference on 4/1/2021, 4/16/2021, and 4/23/2021. Cert was granted 4/26/2021.
The parties requested, and were granted, two extensions to file briefs on the merits.
From the time of being granted certiorari, the petitioner has 45 days to file their initial brief. The opposing party has 30 days from then to respond. Extensions may be granted at the discretion of the Court.
From there, the petitioner can file a reply brief. The opposing party can file a reply brief.
About 100 days total, if everybody stays on schedule.
The case was scheduled for oral arguments on 8/15/2021. The date for arguments was set for November 3rd, 2021.
The case was argued on 11/3/2021.
The court published their opinion on 6/23/2022 with the judgement being issued on 7/25/2022.
Because the case was conferenced in April, the case wasn’t heard in the 2021 term. We are teed up to have the opinion issue for these cases in June 2025.
