SCOTUS Case Resources
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.
