There is more to the court’s docket than the blockbusters that land in June. The term was as contentious as it was consequential, with almost 30 percent of the cases decided by five-justice majorities, compared with an average of 22 percent in recent years. (The statistics come from Scotusblog, which produced 54 pages of data within hours of the conclusion of the term.)

In lower-profile cases, the court’s rulings continued to be good for business interests and bad for the Obama administration.

“We shouldn’t lose sight of the court cementing its legacy as the most pro-business court in the modern era,” said Lee Epstein, who teaches law and political science at the University of Southern California and helped write a recent study of the Roberts court’s business rulings.

The U. S. Chamber of Commerce had another successful year. The court cut back on class actions, favored arbitration and made it harder to sue the makers of dangerous drugs and employers accused of workplace discrimination.

“Anyone doubting that the most important story of the Roberts court is its business rulings has not been paying enough attention,” said Doug Kendall, president of the Constitutional Accountability Center, a liberal group. “This term’s 5-4 rulings, all favoring the chamber, move the law sharply to the right and to the great detriment of consumers, employees, and other Americans trying to get their day in court.”

Kate Comerford Todd, a lawyer with the chamber’s litigation unit, said the group’s victories were routine and warranted.

“In the business cases in which the chamber filed this term,” she said, “we did not see the court make new law. Instead, the court largely reaffirmed its prior decisions and rejected new attempts by the plaintiffs’ bar to contort federal law and procedures to suit their purposes.”
