SCOTUSblog is devoted to comprehensively covering the U.S. Supreme Court without bias and according to the highest journalistic and legal ethical standards. The blog is provided as a public service and is sponsored by Bloomberg Law.
Tom Goldstein and Amy Howe, husband and wife, founded the blog in 2002. Reporter Lyle Denniston joined a few years later. Other permanent and part-time staff members have joined over time. Significant contributions have come from other lawyers at Tom and Amy’s law firm, as well as their students at Stanford and Harvard Law Schools. Now more than twenty people work on or write for the blog.
The blog generally reports on every merits case before the Court at least three times: prior to argument; after argument; and after the decision. In certain cases, we invite the advocates to record summaries of their arguments for podcasts. The blog notes all of the non-pauper cert. petitions that seek to raise a legal question which in Tom’s view may interest the Justices; Lyle gives additional coverage to particularly significant petitions. For the merits cases and the petitions we cover, we provide access to all the briefs.
In 2013, SCOTUSblog received the Peabody Award for excellence in electronic media. It is the first blog to ever receive the Peabody. It also won the 2013 Society of Professional Journalists (Sigma Delta Chi) prize for deadline reporting for its coverage of the Supreme Court’s healthcare ruling.

The Supreme Court plays a critical role in our democracy, but much of the information about how it works is not easily accessible. As a nonprofit devoted to covering the Supreme Court comprehensively, without bias and according to the highest journalistic and ethical standards, SCOTUSblog fills that gap, at no charge to our readers and without commercial sponsorship or advertisers.
Over the past 15 years, SCOTUSblog has become an essential resource for practitioners and nonlawyers interested in the Supreme Court. The blog provides detailed coverage of many of the court’s cases, along with access to all related filings. First, we feature the petitions for certiorari – that is, requests for the court to review a case on the merits – that raise significant legal questions. Second, we report on every “merits” case – the roughly 75 the court agrees to hear each year – before the court at least three times: before and after oral argument and after the decision. Third, we provide real-time and interactive coverage of the court’s opinions as they are released through a live blog, where we report on the implications of the decisions and respond to readers’ questions.
Our coverage extends beyond individual cases to look at broader trends and issues. For example, we provide a daily “round-up” of court coverage and commentary by other news outlets and websites, without regard to ideology or perspective, as well as statistics about the court. We also publish analytical pieces and special projects, focusing on everything from potential nominees to the court to the legacy of retired justices. Background materials such as a glossary of terms and a summary of Supreme Court procedure help explain the workings of the court.
