How does the US Supreme Court reach a decision for the cases it hears?

The Supreme Court of the United States maintains its own website that includes the decision and written opinion of cases for the past few years. The decision is usually uploaded to the site the same day the decision is issued, and is the best source for up-to-date information.

Other sites, such as Oyez.org and Justia have online databases of Supreme Court decisions from the present Term all the way back to the Court's first recorded case. Justia has Excellent tools that allow a user to search by case name, year or US Reports Volume number.
