If you are interested in learning more about the Supreme Court, there's really no better way to do that than to read the opinions the Justices write. But, if you're a little new to reading SCOTUS opinions, the Public Information Office of the Supreme Court provides the public with helpful, general information contained within the about the court tab of the Court's official website supremecourt.gov.

I'll be reading some of that information in a series of four bonus episodes: The Supreme Court at Work; The Justices; History and Traditions; and an entire episode dedicated to the most helpful frequently asked questions answered on the website. In today's episode, the third in the series, I'll be reading about the history and traditions of the Supreme Court and its iconic building- links to the text have been included in the episode description. Enjoy.
