Legal battles over our rights are increasingly playing out state by state. But it’s much easier to learn the basics about the U.S. Supreme Court and Constitution than their state counterparts. In conversations with students, we kept hearing requests for an easier way to learn the fundamentals about state courts and constitutions and get practical advice on career paths and clerkships.
State Court Report EDU is our answer: a curated collection of State Court Report explainers, career advice, scholarship roundups, and more. We’ve put all our greatest hits in one place and also created new content oriented toward students. Whether you’re studying law or just curious about state constitutions, State Court Report EDU is a great place to start.
We hope you’ll check out the site, consider forwarding this announcement to friends and colleagues, and encourage them to subscribe

to State Court Report’s biweekly newsletter too. We’ll be back in September with our regular content.
Meanwhile, here’s some of what you’ll find on State Court Report EDU

For a Novel Student Note, Think State Constitutions
Publishing a student note that addresses unresolved legal issues is a way to stand out, and state constitutions provide fertile ground for ideas. But where to start? Read advice from judges and scholars on how to identify salient student scholarship topics.
Scholarship Roundup: Summer Edition
From state-federal conflicts to economic regulation to tribal constitutions, recent scholarship continues to broaden our understanding of state constitutions and state public law. University of Wisconsin Professor Miriam Seifter highlights some must-reads.
Why the First State Constitutions Matter Today
Have you ever wondered why states have constitutions? George Mason University history professor Rosemarie Zagarri tells the whole story, from the colonists’ 27 grievances against the British king to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, which owes much of its design to early state constitutions. When the first state constitutions were written, she writes, “a government based solely on the consent of the governed was a radically new concept.”
We’ll also feature resources on careers and clerkships, a curated collection of state court explainers, a link to our essay series on each state’s constitution, and videos from recent events. We hope you find it useful — and if you have suggestions for additional student-oriented content, please let us know
