The Law Library of Congress has compiled this excellent site, a compilation of resources about Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. Included are her Supreme Court briefs and the transcripts of cases she argued before the Supreme Court. Her first case, the controversial Citizens United, can be found here. You will also find links to other Web resources as well as videos of Kagan's nomination. Confirmation hearings for Kagan begin on June 28, giving you plenty of time to bone up on her background.
