Only? That’s 140 cases a year, or one every two working days. Sounds like an extremely high number to me.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_U.S._Supreme_Court_cases_decided_by_year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_U.S._Supreme_Court_c... says it’s ≈70 per year. That’s less, but IMO still very high.
- autoexec 3y agoI wish I only had to work on 70 things in an entire year! Even better if I got to pick and choose which things I'd be working on. Now imagine if a whole chain of other people had already worked on all of those things before they even got to me, leaving me with all their notes and conclusions. I'd have all the time in the world to accept bribes from billionaires and take fancy trips on their private jets and yachts too!
