Benchlight The federal appellate judiciary

The Court

The Supreme Court sits as a whole rather than in panels.

Computed by Benchlight The Supreme Court publishes no panel, because every participating justice takes part. Benchlight therefore lists the justices commissioned and in active service on Dec. 7, 2005, from Federal Judicial Center service records. Recusals are shown only where the source records them, so a justice who did not participate may still appear here.
