From funding by a National Science Foundation grant, the US Supreme Court Justices Database is born:

This is a multi-user, public database containing a wealth of information on individuals nominated (whether confirmed or not) to the U.S. Supreme Court (John Jay-Samuel A. Alito, Jr). Specifically, the Database houses 263 variables, falling roughly into five categories: identifiers, background characteristics and personal attributes, nomination and confirmation, service on the Court, and departures from the bench.

I’ll have to fire up SPSS or perhaps Excel here at the University and see what’s what, but it looks like an interesting resource for resarch into the Supremes.
