Supreme Court Schedules Summer Order Lists for Aug. 17 and Sept. 4

The Supreme Court announced July 1, 2026, that it will issue its next summer order list on Monday, Aug. 17. The date gives litigants and the public a scheduled point for possible action on pending matters while the justices are on summer recess.

The Court also announced a second summer order-list date for Sept. 4, 2026. Together, the notice establishes two upcoming dates for the Court to release orders from its docket. For litigants, the dates provide calendar markers for monitoring possible developments in pending cases, but they do not guarantee that a particular case will be addressed.

The schedule is an administrative calendar update, not a ruling on the merits of a dispute. The Court has not identified which cases will appear on the Aug. 17 list, so the notice does not indicate which issues the justices may consider or what outcomes could follow.

Emergency orders, including applications for stays, may be released as applications require rather than held for one of the scheduled lists. Such orders may therefore come before Aug. 17 or between the announced dates. The next scheduled date is Aug. 17, followed by Sept. 4.
