As of March 23, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States has handed down six per curiam opinions during its 2025 term. This term began on October 6, 2025, and will end on October 4, 2026.
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.
Chief Justice: John Roberts
Associate Justices: Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, Ketanji Brown Jackson
The court's opinion was based on substantive due process. Ian Millhiser wrote "Mirabelli is one of the most consequential constitutional decisions the Roberts Court has ever handed down" and "the height of judicial hypocrisy".
Because the Second Circuit failed to identify a case where an officer using a routine wristlock on a protester after issuing a verbal warning, without more, was held to have violated the Constitution, Sergeant Jacob Zorn was entitled to qualified immunity; the Second CircuitâÂÂs contrary conclusion was erroneous.
Justice Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson.
