- Period
- 2026-09-05 to 2026-09-05
- As of
- 2026-09-05
- Method
- Read all three identified merits-petition dockets as of September 5. Count 26-141 and 26-223 once each because response deadlines remain pending. Exclude 25-573 after rehearing denial. The government's 26-142 petition concerns the same Carroll matter and adds no separate matter. Exclude Clinton 26A134 because only a disposed extension application, not a filed certiorari petition, appears in its reviewed docket.
- Uncertainty
- A bounded reviewed Supreme Court petition set, not all open litigation involving Trump or his businesses. Official-capacity cases, lower-court cases and unreviewed petitions are outside scope. Docket updates can change the count.
