Is the Supreme Court running behind?

The Supreme Court is approaching the end of its term with several cases still pending. As of the justices' Thursday morning session, 20 cases remain to be decided. The court typically releases all its decisions by the end of June, before the justices take their summer recess. Some of the remaining cases are expected to be major rulings. A comparison with the past five terms suggests that the current pace is within normal bounds, but questions have been raised about whether the court will finish on time or extend into July. Further information on the court's schedule and pending cases is available from SCOTUSblog.
