SCOTUS

As my students know, I am a bit of a fan of the Supreme Court season. And today is the final day.
As the court issues its last bits of paperwork today, I thought I should mention some of the resources that students (or fans) might follow to read up on the recent decisions.

First, you can get generic news from Yahoo's Supreme Court aggregator:

But for straight reporting you should probably begin and end with Linda Greenhouse's coverage - I tend to think she is the best SCOTUS reporter out there.

For analysis I often find Dalia Lithwick's writing to be fairly compelling and explanatory:

And, while there are countless blogs covering the events unfolding in DC, the most relevant one I discovered recently is called SCOTUSblog: http://www.scotusblog.com/movabletype/
