Start of the U.S. Supreme Court Term

Since 1917, the first Monday in October has marked the beginning of the United States Supreme Court term. This year, the term starts on October 5, with two oral arguments scheduled: Texas v. New Mexico and Carney v. Adams. The former concerns whether the River Master correctly allocated evaporation losses under the Pecos River Compact—stream it (ha!) live on C-SPAN.org.
