In a groundbreaking ten-month project, the latest StatPack for the Supreme Court’s 2024 Term has been meticulously assembled, offering a detailed statistical analysis from October 2024 to June 2025. This report, designed to serve as an appendix for the SCOTUSblog Statpack, introduces additional metrics concerning oral arguments and the Court’s extensive docket.

The primary objective of this endeavor was to deliver a comprehensive yet digestible overview of the term, acknowledging the limitations inherent in such data-driven summaries. The creators of the report are upfront about the surface-level nature of the inferences that can be drawn from the data, highlighting the selective decision-making process of the Court regarding which appeals to review.

The report underscores the neutrality of the data presented, avoiding any prioritization of cases based on national significance. This approach stems from a desire to provide a clear snapshot of the Justices' decision-making behaviors, rather than to make qualitative judgments about the cases themselves.

Furthermore, the authors of the report encourage responsible use of the data, which they have made freely available to the public. They emphasize that once published, the interpretation and application of the data are beyond their control. The Supreme Court’s role in national discourse is significant, and the interpretation of its decisions can be polarizing. The team behind the report asks for understanding if interpretations made by others from the data provoke disagreement.

The development of the report was supported by a team of experts including Vikram Narasimhan, Zachary Shemtob, Sarah Isgur, and Kelsey Dallas, whose insights were invaluable in crafting a balanced and informative document.

For those interested in diving deeper into the nuances of Supreme Court decisions, the StatPack Extended OT ’24 is available for download.

In an era where data is plentiful but often misinterpreted, initiatives like StatPack Extended OT ’24 are crucial in providing clear, accessible, and unbiased information about one of the country’s most pivotal institutions. This effort marks a significant contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding the U.S. Supreme Court and its impact on American law and society.
