Esteras v. United States

The Court

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

Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts Jr. George W. Bush
Justice Clarence Thomas George H.W. Bush
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. George W. Bush
Justice Sonia Sotomayor Barack Obama
Justice Elena Kagan Barack Obama
Justice Neil M. Gorsuch Donald J. Trump
Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh Donald J. Trump
Justice Amy Coney Barrett Donald J. Trump
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Joseph R. Biden

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 June 20, 2025, 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.
