When will the SC hear the G. Maxwell appeal?
There is currently no scheduled date for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal. As of mid-July 2025, the Department of Justice has formally urged the Court to reject Maxwell's petition to overturn her conviction. The government's response to her petition was filed by July 14, 2025, but the Court has not indicated whether it will take the case or set it for argument.
Key points:
Maxwell filed her petition for review in April 2025 after losing her appeal in the Second Circuit.
The DOJ’s reply, filed by the latest deadline of July 14, 2025, opposes granting the writ of certiorari.
The Supreme Court must now decide whether to consider the case or deny review; the vast majority of certiorari petitions are denied each term.
No oral argument or hearing date has been announced for Maxwell’s case. If the Court declines review, there will be no hearing.
In summary, unless and until the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case, no hearing is scheduled and Maxwell’s conviction and sentence remain in effect.
