SCOTUSWatch
Supreme Court monitor
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Never miss a Supreme Court opinion, order, or ruling. Now with Watched Cases: real-time docket alerts and in-app access to petitions, briefs, and motions.
The Supreme Court doesn't always announce when it publishes. SCOTUSWatch does.
SCOTUSWatch monitors the Supreme Court's website and sends you a push notification when new documents appear — slip opinions, order lists, shadow docket rulings, miscellaneous orders, and more. No polling. No refresh. Just alerts when the Court acts.
WHAT YOU GET
• Push notifications for every new Supreme Court document
• Watched Cases — track specific cases, get notified when the Court acts on them, and access the full docket with the built-in PDF viewer
• AI-generated plain-language summaries of opinions and orders, with topic tags for quick identification (optional)
• Full document type coverage: Slip Opinions, Order Lists, Opinions Relating to Orders, Miscellaneous Orders, and In-Chambers Opinions
• Clean, focused reading experience — no clutter, no commentary
• Full Term overview — searchable and sortable by document type, month, and Slip Opinion author
FOR LAWYERS, JOURNALISTS, AND COURT WATCHERS
Whether you're a litigator tracking cert grants, a reporter covering the Court, a law student following a landmark case, or just a curious citizen — SCOTUSWatch puts you in the front row, no matter where you are.
WATCHED CASES
Add any case to your watchlist and SCOTUSWatch tracks it three ways. You'll get a push notification when an order list affects the case — a cert grant, denial, or other action. You can browse the full docket and open petitions, briefs, and motions in the built-in PDF viewer. And you can subscribe to real-time docket push: once any user signs up for a case, all users watching it receive pushes within seconds of new activity at the Court.
ABOUT AI SUMMARIES
When enabled, SCOTUSWatch uses AI to generate plain-language summaries of new opinions and orders, along with a short topic tag identifying the area of law. Summaries are clearly labeled and intended to help you quickly understand what was decided — not to replace the original document. AI summaries may contain errors or omissions; always refer to the official Court document for authoritative text.
SCOTUSWatch is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Supreme Court of the United States.
