Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is visiting my school in the coming days. I decided to read one of her dissent’s to help my students prepare for her visit. I decided to take a look at her dissent in Trump v. CASA (June 2025). I really enjoyed it and am going to do my best to work more SCOTUS opinions (both majority and dissents) into my regular reading.

I have discovered a few websites where one can access decisions and learn more about the Court. They are listed below. Now, more than ever, I believe active citizenship and defense of democracy requires ‘doing your homework’ on the issues that our judicial branch is wrestling with.

  1. The Official Supreme Court Website

  2. Oyez (The Best for Context & Audio) A key feature of this site is that It offers a “synchronized” audio player where you can listen to the oral arguments while the transcript scrolls, highlighting which Justice or lawyer is speaking.

  3. Cornell Legal Information Institute (LII) This collection includes a curated section for Landmark Decisions organized by topic (e.g., “Powers of the Presidency” or “Civil Rights”)

  4. Scotus Blog Another great resource!
