After a Justice passes away, the Supreme Court Justices pay a tribute to their colleague in the U.S. Reports. The format is very similar to that outlined earlier for the appointment and retirement letters. For example, volume 510 of the U.S. Reports documents the proceedings in memory of Justice Marshall and marks the information with the notation "In Memoriam Justice Thurgood Marshall." [42] The disadvantage with the U.S. Reports is that the series is published approximately four years after the Term concludes. Thus, memorials for the recent deaths of former Justices William J. Brennan, Jr., Lewis F. Powell, Jr., and Harry A. Blackmun, will not appear for several years. The Supreme Court Reporter has also included tributes to the Justices for about the past twenty years, although the Supreme Court Reporter is not an official reporter like the U.S. Reports. [43]

Roger F. Jacobs, former Librarian of the Supreme Court, has compiled thirty-five memorials into a multi-volume set entitled Memorials of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. The set is alphabetically arranged and also contains memorial proceedings that are not printed in the United States Reports.[44] In preparation of this set, Jacobs drew upon individual booklets of memorial proceedings housed at the Supreme Court, as well as Roy M. Mersky and Christy B. McCrary’s, Supreme Court Memorial Proceedings and Related Items: An Index. [45]

In addition to the works mentioned above and any available news coverage about a Justice’s death, individual law reviews often memorialize Justices. For example, several law reviews published significant tributes to former Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. after his death in 1997. [46]
