A Visual History of the Supreme Court of the United States

A new poster from Timeplots does an impressive job displaying the history of the US Supreme Court, showing landmark cases, political leanings, and the induction of new judges over the ages.

It combines biographical information on every Supreme Court justice with a visualization of the influence of U.S. presidents and their political parties on the Court over time, and includes vote counts and summaries of landmark cases. We hope that those interested in the Court and judicial history—including lawyers, policymakers, and history buffs—will find this a useful and engaging product.

You can order the poster in regular or framed versions from their website, and browse it in full-resolution.
