How they write Measured from 55 of 55 decisions
Every opinion of the Term, read from its PDF and measured by writing: the Court’s opinion, each concurrence and each dissent, body text only (footnotes counted apart, citations counted once each).
Length, by kind of writing
| Justice | Opinions of the Court | Concurrences | Dissents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roberts, C.J. | 67,246 | 12,281 | — |
| Thomas | 64,248 | 71,988 | 94,612 |
| Alito | 63,710 | 4247 | 72,350 |
| Sotomayor | 53,253 | 6517 | 310,125 |
| Kagan | 64,490 | 11,426 | 38,611 |
| Gorsuch | 75,026 | 112,088 | 34,838 |
| Kavanaugh | 62,597 | 61,192 | 11,377 |
| Barrett | 62,924 | 5772 | 43,544 |
| Jackson | 53,550 | 5834 | 65,788 |
| Per curiam | 21,078 | — | — |
Each cell is the number written, a bar, and the median length in words. The bars share one scale, so a dissent’s length reads against a Court opinion’s: a bar is full at 10,125 words, the longest median among cells with two or more writings, and a longer one is marked. A concurrence in the judgment is counted with the concurrences; a mixed writing with the dissents.

A Justice’s writings of every kind, weighted by length. Each column is shaded from its lowest value (lightest) to its highest (darkest) among the Justices. Across the Term’s 138 writings: 20.1 words per sentence, grade level 12.0, 14.6 citations per 1,000 words. Grade level is Flesch–Kincaid, computed after citations are masked; on legal prose it is an index for comparing Justices, not a reading age.
Who agreed with whom Lineups parsed for 55 of 55 decisions
Every pair of Justices, as a network. A line joins two who ended on the same side of the judgment at least as often as the threshold; the thicker and darker, the more often. Distance is the layout’s reading of the whole matrix: pairs who agree sit close. Circle size is the share of decisions in the majority. The stricter reading counts only decisions where both joined the opinion of the Court in full. Hover a Justice or a line for the numbers.

How these are counted
A decision is one written opinion of the Court in an argued case. Consolidated dockets argued together count once.
A mixed writing counts once, under its lead label, and is marked partial. A concurrence in part and dissent in part is never two writings.
A plurality credits its author with the lead opinion; there is no opinion of the Court to have joined in full.
Partial joins (“joined as to Part II–B”) count as agreement on the judgment but not on the full opinion.
Denominators are per pair: only decisions both Justices took part in, and in which neither was on both sides.
Merits only. Argued cases on the Granted & Noted List. Dissents from denial and emergency-docket writings are not counted here.
