Lists of United States Supreme Court cases

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page serves as an index of lists of United States Supreme Court cases. The United States Supreme Court is the highest federal court of the United States.

By chief justice

Court historians and other legal scholars consider each chief justice who presides over the Supreme Court of the United States to be the head of an era of the Court.[1]

These lists are sorted chronologically by chief justice and include most major cases decided by the court. The first three Courts (those of Jay, Rutledge, and Ellsworth) that precede the Marshall Court are grouped together, since their individual terms were relatively short and decisions few in number, while the Supreme Court was still finding its footing.

By volume

Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States are officially published in the United States Reports.[2]

By term

By subject matter
