Researchers are increasingly asking for access to the personal papers of Supreme Court Justices, as these papers might reveal insights into behind-the-scenes discussions surrounding the Court's cases.
The definitive guide to locating and accessing such papers is published as a dataset in Susan David deMaine's Access to the Justices' Papers: A Better Balance. View the article via HeinOnline here; view the dataset separately here.
