Supplementary Materials
The Supreme Court Database is used in a number of different ways.
Some users of the Supreme Court Database create extensions to the data, tethering against the SCDB ID.
The Primary Investigators sometimes prepare research reports using the data.
This section of the website contains contributed, complementary data sets that can be used to extend the scope of the foundational data and reports that rely on these data.
If you have questions or comments about the available code please email the author. If you have code you would like to contribute please contact us.

Many studies of voting by Supreme Court justices use measures of ideology. This dataset contains the ideology and qualifications scores developed by Segal and Cover (APSR, 1989) and the ideology scores developed by Martin and Quinn (PA, 2002) along with justice identifiers to easily merge the scores onto the Justice Centered Data. Please consult the documentation for details.

This analysis of the voting behavior of Justice Thomas was prepared at the request of the New York Times to statistically summarize his first twenty years of service on the bench. The report was referenced in the October 22, 2011 article, Clarence Thomas's Brand of Judicial Logic. The zip archive that follows the report contains materials to replicate all of the analyses in the report.

There are two commonly used measures of the salience of Supreme Court cases: those that appear on the front page of the New York Times (Epstein and Segal, AJPS, 2000) and those that are listed as landmark cases by Congressional Quarterly. This dataset contains these two measures.
