How long for the Petition for the Writ of Certiorari to be decided by the Supreme Court:

Q: How long does it take the Court to act, once a petition has been filed?
A: On the average, about six weeks. Once a petition has been filed, the other party has 30 days within which to file a response brief, or, in some cases waive his/ her right to respond. Once the 10 day period for receiv- ing a reply brief has passed, the case is circulated to the Justices and placed on a conference list, for consider- ation at one of the Justices’ private Friday conferences. Copies of conference lists are available to news report- ers for their convenience ONLY, and not for publica- tion. Cases appearing on a conference list may reason- ably be expected to appear on the following Monday’s Order List (the announcement of dispositions in pend- ing cases) although this is not always the case. If a case does not appear, it will be relisted for consideration at a future conference. If the petition is granted, the peti- tioner has 45 days within which to file a brief on the merits, and the respondent has 35 days within which to file the brief in response, for a total of about 80 days. The petitioner may then file a reply brief up to one week prior to the date oral argument has been scheduled.
