Supreme Court of the United States
District of Columbia v. R.W.
The Court
The Supreme Court sits as a whole rather than in panels.
- Chief Justice of the United States John Glover Roberts Jr.
- Justice Clarence Thomas
- Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.
- Justice Sonia Sotomayor
- Justice Elena Kagan
- Justice Neil M. Gorsuch
- Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh
- Justice Amy Coney Barrett
- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
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 April 20, 2026, 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.
