The Supreme Court's Style Guide

More than the Supreme Court’s Bluebook.

The Supreme Court’s Style Guide contains the style preferences of the Supreme Court, used by its Reporter of Decisions when preparing the Court's official opinions and the published United States Reports.

This guide has never before been made available to the public.

Essential for any judge, court, or attorney, the Supreme Court’s Style Guide is destined to become the authority in legal style.

Jack Metzler is an attorney in Washington, D.C. specializing in appellate and Supreme Court practice. He has achieved the same win-loss record for Supreme Court arguments as the Great Chief Justice John Marshall and President Abraham Lincoln: 0-1. See Pearson v. Callahan, 555 U.S. 223 (2009); Williamson v. Barrett, 13 How. 101 (1852); Ware v. Hylton, 3 Dall. 199 (1796). His other accomplishments include, inter alia, surfing in three oceans, having a solo show of his paintings, and winning $150 one year when he bought a lottery ticket on his birthday.He once memorized the Periodic Table of the Elements for fun. He is confident that - like Marshall and Lincoln after their Supreme Court arguments - the best is yet to come. Follow him on Twitter @SCOTUSPlaces.
