Last week we began reviewing a new question: is the traditional view that the Supreme Court only reviews final judgments (with a request for review being a waste of time and money in other circumstances) really true? This week we are reviewing the data for the years 2000 to 2009.

As can be seen in Table 1787, the percentage of the Court’s civil cases passed final judgments has been relatively stable and has increased slightly over the decade. In 2000, 65.79% of the Court’s civil cases were final judgments. This fell to 58.82% in 2001 and (after a one-year increase) to 58.7% in 2003. In 2005, two thirds of civil proceedings were based on final judgments. Although this number fell slightly in 2006 and slightly more in 2007, 71.43% of civil cases in 2008 were due to final judgments. In 2009 it was 73.17%.

Come back here next week while we review the data for the past eleven years.
