The U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions impact the lives of everyday Americans. Yet, in a 2018 C-SPAN survey, more than half of U.S. adults could not name a sitting justice.

In recent years, the court has ruled on everything from same-sex marriage, to health care, to the limits of a president’s power.

How well do you really know the nine sitting justices — with lifetime appointments — and your Supreme Court? Take our quiz to test your SCOTUS knowledge.

This quiz was last updated on June 27, 2019. The questions — and correct responses — reflect decisions of the court through the end of Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s first term.
