The Washington Post
The Post has an extensive site devoted to the Supreme Court. It is
easy to navigate and requires no pre-registration. Special features
include:
The New York Times
The Times has just come out with its Guide to the Supreme Court. The
site is sometimes hard to call up, and registration [at no cost] is required
before using the Time site. The site includes recent Times stories on the
issues facing the court during its 1998-99 term and features: profiles
and photos of the justices; a collection of landmark cases; past articles;
a readers forum on issues before the Court; related links; the first chapter
of "Thurgood Marshall: American Revolutionary" by Juan Williams; and a
profile of Times Court reporter Lynda Greenhouse.

USA Today
The USA Today Supreme Court Index lists every story the paper has run
on the Court since June 1997 and has archives back to the 1995-96 term.
It also features an exclusive USA Today series from earlier this year on
the law clerks of the Supreme Court, "the most powerful, least known young
lawyers in America."

C-SPAN
America and the Courts is the Supreme Court site for C-SPAN.org, "your
online resource for public affairs." The site features "Watch|Listen" audio
and visual resources about the Court, including speeches and addresses
by the Justices. It also includes a guide to programming and downloadable
software.

Court TV
A limited site, Court TV provides one-page biographies [with pictures]
of the justices and a visual tour of the Supreme Court through time. Of
particular interest, however, is a set of documents pertaining to Griswold
v. Connecticut, the 1965 Supreme Court decision that struck down Connecticut's
ban on birth control. "The seven documents -- reproduced as they appear
in their original form, complete with typos -- show that lawyers carefully
contemplated to present the perfect case. Planned
Parenthood League of Connecticut Inc. has kindly permitted American
Lawyer Media to reproduce them."
