Newly released financial disclosure forms provide details about how Supreme Court justices spend time outside their judicial duties. The reports focus in part on Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who is said to have received concert tickets tied to an event in Puerto Rico last year, according to the forms. The disclosures also indicate that justices continue to participate in paid teaching activities, which the documents list as outside income or related compensation. In addition, the forms describe royalty payments received by members of the court for books they have authored. Taken together, the filings offer a snapshot of personal and professional compensation that occurs alongside judicial work, including entertainment-related gifts and obligations or benefits connected to authored publications. The disclosures were released at the same time that multiple outlets drew attention to the recurring theme of justices’ outside engagements—such as teaching and book-related royalties—as well as specific non-cash items disclosed for time off the bench.
