The Supreme Court of the United States handed down nine per curiam opinions during its 2008 term, which began on October 6, 2008 and concluded October 4, 2009.[1]
Because per curiam decisions are issued from the Court as an institution, these opinions all lack the attribution of authorship or joining votes to specific justices. All justices on the Court at the time the decision was handed down are assumed to have participated and concurred unless otherwise noted.
- ^ The descriptions of two opinions have been omitted:
- In Bell v. Kelly, 555 U.S. 55 (2008), the Court dismissed the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted.
- In Philip Morris USA Inc. v. Williams, 556 U.S. 178 (2009), the Court dismissed the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted.
