U.S. Supreme Court Justices Database

The U.S. Supreme Court Justices Database at
Northwestern University School of Law, (funded
by the National Science Foundation, Law and Social
Science Program) is a "multi-user, public database
containing a wealth of information on individuals
nominated (whether confirmed or not) to the U.S.
Supreme Court (John Jay-Samuel A. Alito, Jr).
Specifically, the database houses 263 variables,
falling roughly into five categories: identifiers,
background characteristics and personal attributes,
nomination and confirmation, service on the Court,
and departures from the bench."
