Ms. Inbusch's Classes
1. The pictures on the bronze doors of the Supreme Court show the history of law.
2. The nine justices sit by seniority; the Chief Justice sits in the center, the senior justices on the right, and the junior justices on the left.
3. Chief Justice William Howard Taft, a former President, persuaded Congress in 1929 to build a permanent home for the Supreme Court. Prior to that time, the Supreme Court had met in several different rooms in the Capitol over the course of the 19th century.
4. Two marble statues flank the entrance stairs: the left female figure is the Contemplation of Justice; the right male figure is the Guardian or Authority of Law.
5. The courtroom bench behind which the justices sit was modified in 1972 from a straight line to a v-shape line to allow better sight and sound of the proceedings.
6. There are specific sections of seats on the floor of the Court that are reserved for lawyers, members of the press, guests of the justices, visiting dignitaries, and the general public.
