The Supreme Court will spring back into action next month. No more limping forward while awaiting a full bench. Instead, the court will open its new term with the full complement of nine justices and dive into a blockbuster slate of oral arguments: travel ban, political gerrymandering, fundamental questions of criminal law, etc.

Here are some of the cases in which the court will hear oral argument in the coming months:

Criminal Law

• Class v. United States (D.C. Cir.)—whether a guilty plea inherently waives a defendant's right to challenge the constitutionality of his statute of 
conviction.

• Carpenter v. United States (6th Cir.)—whether the warrantless seizure and search of historical cellphone records revealing the location and movements of a cellphone user over the course of 127 days is permitted by the Fourth Amendment.
