Caselaw — US Supreme Court
- Versions of opinions:
- Bench Opinions. On days that opinions are announced by the Court from the bench, the text of each opinion is made available immediately to the public and the press in a printed form called a "bench opinion."
- Slip Opinions. Several days after an opinion is announced by the Court, it is printed in a 6" x 9" self-cover pamphlet called a "slip opinion."
- Preliminary Prints. These are brown, soft-cover "advance pamphlets" that contain, in addition to the opinions themselves, all of the announcements, tables, indexes, and other features that make up the U. S. Reports.
- Bound Volumes. The opinions and other materials contained in the preliminary prints are published in this series of books. Prior to publication, all of the opinions and other materials that make up each volume undergo a final editing and indexing process.
