The Court’s start date is mandated by a law passed by Congress. Originally, the Judiciary Act of 1789 set two annual sessions for the Court, but the two sessions were consolidated into one annual term in 1802. In 1916, Congress moved the Court term’s start date from the second Monday in October to the first Monday, where it has remained. This year, Monday, October 5, will be the first day of arguments, which will be done via teleconference.
