Redesign: United States Supreme Court Web Site Has a New Look, New URL Beginning in July

The U.S. Supreme Court web site has received a redesign.

You'll notice:

+ Red Background on Home Page

+ A Search Box to Find All Documents or Docket Files
Note: When searching for a docket a results page only brings back the Case Number. You'll need to click again to access name and other info.

+ Recent Decisions Listed and Linked in the Right Rail (PDF Files)

+ Middle Column, A Court Calendar That Uses Color To Help Identify Days (Argument Days, Non-argument Days, Conference Days, etc.)

+ Middle Column, Images from Inside and Outside the Courthouse

+ Left Column, Organized into Two Sections (Supreme Court Documents and Supreme Court Information)

+ Documents Include (Dockets, Oral Arguments (Including Audio), Merit Briefs (Including Link to Online Merit Briefs (via ABA), Court Rules, Case Handling Guides, Opinions, Orders of the Court, etc. g
+ USSC Info (History, Bios, Guides, etc. Visiting the Court, Public Information, Jobs, Links)

From the SCOTUSblog (PDF)

The Web address for the site will change from www.supremecourtus.gov to www.supremecourt.gov, but either address will provide access through July l ,2010.

From techPresident:

The blog of Legal Times finds key elements of the site's content pleasingly easier to get to now.

Several important pieces of information about the Court that used to take several clicks to get to are now brought forward, for easier access.

And Daniel Schuman of the Sunlight Foundation, which notably did a volunteer mock redesign of the Supreme Court site, notes several improvements, along with several areas where things could still be better.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
