A Simple, Unbiased Guide to the Supreme Court
The facts, the law, and all the reasons you should care.
“It is emphatically the province and duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is.”
-Chief Justice John Marshall, Marbury v. Madison (1803)
For more than 200 years, the United States Supreme Court has been the most powerful of the American courts. The nine unelected justices that comprise the Court have broad authority to rewrite the rules of life in this country. In fact, when you think about the most important changes to modern existence in America, you’re probably thinking in terms of Supreme Court cases. Brown v. Board of Ed. Miranda v. Arizona. Roe v. Wade. You’ve heard of those. But when the next change comes, will you be prepared?
If you’re like most people, the answer is probably no. The truth of the matter is that keeping up with the Supreme Court—really keeping up with it—requires countless hours of reading, mountains of legal research, and a thorough, practical background in the law. If you’re thinking that sounds like a monumental undertaking, then you’ve come to the right place. I’m here because I believe that everyone is entitled to a simple, unbiased review of everything that’s currently happening in the highest court in the land. And that’s precisely what I intend to give you.
I’ll read the briefs, listen to the oral arguments, and do the research so you don’t have to. And then I’ll present it all here, with no spin and no political agenda. I’ll tell you how the cases being heard right now will affect your life. I’ll give you the facts and the law, and I’ll let you decide what to believe.
Welcome to the Impartial Review.
About Me
My name is Justin, and I’ve made a career in the law for the last seven years. In that time, I’ve worked for federal prosecutors, public defenders, private law firms, and prominent judges. I’ve written hundreds of briefs, motions, and judicial opinions. I’ve read thousands of cases and I’ve handled dozens of my own, from simple contract cases to robberies, murders, and more.
And for the better part of a decade, I’ve kept one eye on the Supreme Court, with all the countless hours of reading and research that requires. If you’re thinking this makes me crazy or masochistic, well, I’m not sure I disagree, but I believe it also makes me uniquely qualified to do the heavy lifting, and to tell you what you need to know about what’s happening in the Supreme Court right now.
