The Supreme Court Historical Society could not function without the generosity of its members and of the individuals, law firms, foundations, and corporations which sustain its programs and services.

Projects like the Supreme Court Summer Institute for Teachers, the annual lecture series, and even this website would be impossible to undertake without private support. Such support made it possible for the Society to launch a special training initiative for high school teachers in the District of Columbia Public Schools. We are almost ready to unveil a special "landmark cases" website featuring extensive information suitable for teachers and students on many of the Supreme Court cases selected by the states for inclusion in standards for teaching history and/or government. Private support made these initiatives possible.
