The Supreme Court Database builds on work begun 20 years ago by political science professor Harold J. Spaeth and others.
Funded by the National Science Foundation, this newest iteration of professor Spaeth’s work offers a revamped interface with interactive search tools that make queries such as "How often has the Supreme Court declared acts of congress unconstitutional?" possible, thus widening the audience that will find this database of Supreme Court statistics and opinions (currently 1953-2008 terms) helpful. The website also features a helpful series of tutorials that guide the new user in effective use of the various search features. |
