17Supreme Court Compendium Online

The Law Library has acquired the online version of the Supreme Court Compendium. If you are unfamiliar with the Compendium, you may want to check it out. It contains a wealth of information about the U.S. Supreme Court, its history, justices, and decisions. This information is presented in the form of well over one-hundred tables, making it easy to navigate. For example, one table evaluates the ideology of each justice from 1937-2006, using several different measurements, such as commitment to civil and economic liberties and support for the programs of the New Deal.

In addition, each chapter includes introductory commentary, and there is an extensive bibliography. First published in 1994, the Compendium is now in its fourth edition. We also have two copies of the print version in our reference collection.
