About Supreme Dicta
The majority and the dissent, side by side.
Most people know how a famous Supreme Court case came out. Far fewer know why the justices who lost the vote disagreed. Supreme Dicta puts both sides next to each other: one decision per episode, the strongest case for the majority, the strongest case for the dissent, and what happened next.
Episodes are available as full videos and 60-second Shorts on YouTube. Each one has a page here with a side-by-side summary, the full transcript, and links to the opinions.
Who produces it
Supreme Dicta is produced by AVR LLC. Episodes explain court decisions for general information, education, and entertainment. AVR LLC does not offer legal advice or legal services through this site or channel.
How we source episodes
- Quotations come from the official United States Reports, using the Library of Congress scans, and are checked word for word.
- Every quote is cited by page so you can check it, and every episode links to the full opinions.
- Paraphrases are labeled as summaries, not quotes. The familiar wording of the Miranda warnings used in our cold open is the police-card version, not a quote from the opinion.
