Notes on statistics:

  • Opinion counts only include the bench opinions listed above; opinions relating to orders or in-chambers opinions are not included.
  • Agreement with the Court's judgment does not guarantee agreement with the reasoning expressed in its opinion. A justice is not considered in agreement if they dissented even in part. Agreement percentages are based only on the listed cases in which a justice participated and are rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one percentage point.
  • Individual opinion counts will not match the Court's totals; Breyer and Kagan's jointly authored dissent in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. is counted separately for both justices but counted only once in the Court's totals.
