Even though the Michigan Supreme Court is on track to receive more filings than it did in 2023, the start of the 2024-25 term shows the Court being more selective in which cases are being ordered for oral argument.

109 docket numbers were ordered for oral argument by December 1, 2023.

For the same point this year, oral arguments have been ordered for 68 docket numbers—a likely more manageable load for the Justices, law clerks, Reporters Office, and support staff.
