Methodology

Vote records come from Oyez and cover publicly tracked merits cases. Recusals are listed but excluded from agreement rates.

Two justices agree in a case when they land on the same side of the judgment: voting with the majority, including concurrences, or in dissent together. A case counts toward agreement rates only when at least 8 substantive votes are on record.
