FantasySCOTUS

FantasySCOTUS is an online fantasy league created by Josh Blackman, head of the Harlan Institute.[1][2][3] In 2014, FantasySCOTUS was acquired and is now run by LexPredict, LLC.[4] It involves enthusiasts of constitutional law predicting how each member of the United States Supreme Court will rule on any given case. To date, over 25,000 have signed up for FantasySCOTUS.[5] Beginning in October 2014, players can compete for prizes. A high school version has been created to help improve education in constitutional law.[6]

Justice Stephen Breyer stated when asked about the site: "I’m glad the public is interested. The more the public knows about the court, the better."[7]
