If you're feeling overwhelmed by
the flood of information about Elena Kagan and her nomination to the Supreme
Court, try these sites. They'll give you major news stories, key background
information, and some analysis — all without drowning you.
- How Appealing — for links to
mainstream and legal news
- ScotusBlog — for its own news and
analysis, as well as selected links to other sources.
- The Georgetown law library's Supreme Court Nomination Guide — for a variety of info, including: transcripts and other documents from Kagan's Solictor General confirmation proceedings; a list of books and articles by the nominee (with links to free sources); video of selected speeches, basic biographical information. The folks at Georgetown will keep this guide updated as the confirmation process unfolds and more interesting material comes to light. [Hat tip to Sara Sampson, Head of Reference at Georgetown!]
[update, 5.17.10] After ZiefBrief went to press with this post, two more great Kagan collections appeared:
- The Elena Kagan page from the Law Library of Congress.
- The Guide to the Nomination of Elena Kagan from Harvard's law library.
