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.

最高法院在我们的民主制度中起着至关重要的作用，但很多关于其如何运作的信息并不容易获得。作为一个致力于全面覆盖最高法院的非营利组织，没有偏见，并根据最高的新闻和道德标准，SCOTUSblog填补了这一空白，免费向我们的读者和没有商业赞助或广告商。

在过去的15年中，SCOTUSblog已成为对最高法院感兴趣的从业者和非律师的重要资源。该博客提供了许多法院案件的详细报道，以及对所有相关文件的访问。首先，我们提出了对证书的请求 - 即要求法院根据案情审查案件 - 提出了重大的法律问题。其次，我们报告每一个“案情” - 法院同意每年听到的大约75个案件 - 在法庭上至少三次：口头辩论之前和之后以及决定之后。第三，我们通过现场博客提供法院意见的实时和互动报道，我们在报告中报告决策的含义并回答读者的问题。

我们的覆盖范围不仅限于个案，还包括更广泛的趋势和问题。例如，我们每天提供法庭报道和其他新闻媒体和网站评论的“综合”，不考虑意识形态或观点，以及有关法院的统计数据。我们还发布分析作品和特殊项目，重点关注从潜在被提名者到法院到退休大法官遗产的所有内容。术语表和最高法院程序摘要等背景材料有助于解释法院的运作。
