This site gives a pretty good overview of the prospective timetable:

> **[How Long Will Trump’s Immunity Appeal Take? Analyzing the Alternative Timelines](https://www.justsecurity.org/91837/how-long-will-trumps-immunity-appeal-take-analyzing-the-alternative-timelines/)**
>
> Likely trial start dates for former president Trump in DC, now that the Circuit Court has ruled and the Supreme Court has yet to weigh in.

Tl;dr version:

> Our analysis suggests that a trial, which is anticipated to last between 8 and 12 weeks, may conclude in **late August or early September** if the Supreme Court denies Trump’s eventual cert petition or in **mid to late October** if the Supreme Court grants Trump’s cert petition.

Of course IANAL. What do the legal minds of the dope think of that timeline?
