How many Supreme Court Cases were heard in 2008?

I know that they tend to be lower than 100 cases per year... but I just can't seem to find the number of cases that the supreme court has seen in 2008.





... but hey... I'll take any info on it... but the only requirement is that I need to know were it came from so that way I know that you aren't lying to me. First person who does this gets the 10 points. Thank you.How many Supreme Court Cases were heard in 2008?
EDIT, CORRECTION:





The Supreme Court Term begins on the first Monday in October of each year. So from the first Monday in October in 2007 to the day before the first Monday in October in 2008 is the 2007 term. The 2008 term won't be completed until right before the first Monday in October in 2009.





If you're looking for the term 2007, which includes most of 2008, here's the list:

The 2008 term is still going and will be for most of this year.








Since you're looking for cases in the calendar year 2008, and not for cases in a court term, you'll need to look at both:





http://www.onthedocket.org/cases/2007


http://www.onthedocket.org/cases/2008





because the site isn't organized by calendar year, but by term. So the link to the 2007 cases starts with the first Monday October of 2007 and goes until the first Monday of October 2008. And the link for 2008 starts with the first Monday in October 2008, and goes to the present. So you'd need to take the 2008 cases from both lists.





They also have a really great calendar feature that you may want to check out. It might be easier to compile from there, I don't know.How many Supreme Court Cases were heard in 2008?
To aid in your research, note that the 2008 term began October 6, 2008; so you might want to look for its 2007 cases.
