# Content The Supreme Court database is the definitive source for researchers, students, journalists, and citizens interested in the United States Supreme Court. The database contains more than two hundred variables regarding each case decided by the Court between the 1946 and 2015 terms. Examples include the identity of the court whose decision the Supreme Court reviewed, the parties to the suit, the legal provisions considered in the case, and the votes of the Justices. The database codebook is available [here][1]. # Acknowledgements The database was compiled by Professor Spaeth of Washington University Law and funded with a grant from the National Science Foundation.
