SCOTUSblog

SCOTUSblog is a weblog written by lawyers and law students about the Supreme Court of the United States (Frequently abbreviated "SCOTUS"). The weblog is funded by Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP, a law firm that focuses on the Supreme Court.

Eugene Volokh, who runs another legal weblog called "The Volokh Conspiracy" along with other professors, wrote that SCOTUSblog's coverage of court cases:

"is just superb — and an excellent example of the value added by the Internet. Take several top scholars and legal thinkers on the subject; have them engage each other (and outside opinion) thoughtfully, in detail, and politely, reaching far deeper than the usual sloganeering yet remaining largely acceptable for educated laypeople; present it starting hours after the decision is handed down, for free, to all interested Internet-connected readers — show me a medium that can beat that."
