Ketanji Brown Jackson 'likely done' writing Supreme Court decisions this term

With just 18 cases left to decide this term, Jackson wrote her latest opinion on Friday in Lora v. United States, making her the justice with the most authored opinions this term so far.

Justice Jackson leads the pack on #SCOTUS with six majority opinions so far this term. She's likely done with majority ops for the term too. As for Jackson's jurisprudence during year one, her dissents have provided some clues as to where she might rule in future terms when she is assigned more contentious cases. For example, she wrote her first lengthy solo dissent on the merits earlier this month when the eight justices allowed a company to move forward with a complaint against a union for damaging cement products.

Nominated by President Joe Biden to succeed Justice Stephen Breyer last year, Jackson has already set records for the most words spoken during oral arguments as a first-term justice since 1990 and joined the court at an unusual time of uncertainty, given the dip in public approval ratings after the overturning of Roe v. Wade last year.
