Georgetown Law Library recently revised our Supreme Court Research Guide. The guide includes where to find information on the history of the Court, biographies of Justices, opinions and other Court documents, rules and practice materials, statistics, and more.
Notable additions to the revised guide include the Supreme Court Database, a user-friendly, web-based database containing data on Supreme Court decisions from the 1953 to 2008 terms; State of the Federal Judiciary: Annual Reports of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States by Shelley L. Dowling, which contains the Chief Justice’s annual reports from 1970 to present; and Kenneth Jost’s The New York Times on the Supreme Court, 1857-2008, a unique resource on the history of the Court with extensive excerpts from the New York Times.
The revised guide also lists updated editions of important works on the Supreme Court, such as Memorials of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, which now includes a sixth volume containing the memorials of twenty-two additional Justices, and unique historical works, such as a microfilm collection of documents from an FBI file on the Supreme Court.
