Where to Obtain Supreme Court Opinions


(October 2015)

This list of Supreme Court opinion publishers was compiled, and is updated annually, by the staff of the Supreme Court of the United States for use by the Court and the public. It is intended to be as complete as possible and includes every opinion issuer of which the staff is aware. Any exclusion from the list is inadvertent; legitimate sources will be added upon submission of the appropriate information. Subscribers to the Court’s Project Hermes opinion service are designated (H) on the list. Caution: Inclusion on the list does not constitute endorsement by the Court, and the Court does not vouch for the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any unofficial source. In the case of any variance between versions of opinions published in the official United States Reports and any other source, whether print or electronic, the United States Reports controls.
