The Supreme Court Compendium provides an array of information about the Supreme Court including topics such as the Supreme Court’s workload, the Justices’ backgrounds, and the Justices’ post-confirmation activities. [32] The Supreme Court Compendium also provides the Supreme Court Justices’ appointment and succession records. [33] The appointment and succession records indicate when a Justice was appointed, who appointed him or her, what the Justice was doing before the appointment nomination, and who the Justice replaced on the Supreme Court. [34]

Table 4-11, entitled "Supreme Court Nominees," lists the nominating President, the year the Justice was nominated, the Justice’s position at the time of the nomination, and the Justice’s age and home state. [35] Similarly, Table 4-12, entitled "Supreme Court Nominees and Vacancies to be Filled," provides the name of the nominating President, the Justice’s home state, the Justice’s party at the time of appointment, and the Justice’s previous political party affiliation. [36] Table 4-12, also reveals the name, state, and political party of the Justice who was replaced. [37]

Like The Supreme Court Compendium, A Reference Guide to the United States Supreme Court ("A Reference Guide") provides information about a Justice’s appointment to the Supreme Court in a chart entitled "Sitting Courts." [38] The chart shows the periods of time during which a group of Justices sat together on the Supreme Court. [39] For each of these "Courts," the chart lists the Chief Justice first, followed by the Associate Justices listed in descending order of seniority. [40] Often more than one "Court" is listed in a single year, reflecting the gap of time between the resignation or death of one Justice and the confirmation of his or her replacement. [41] The "Sitting Courts" chart in A Reference Guide provides another method of learning when a particular Justice joined or left the Supreme Court, and who a particular Justice replaced.
