FantasySCOTUS is an online fantasy league created by Josh Blackman, head of the Harlan Institute.[1][2][3] It involves enthusiasts of constitutional law predicting how each member of the United States Supreme Court will rule on any given case. In its second season, over 5,000 players have registered with the website. A high school version has been created to help improve education in constitutional law.[4]

Justice Stephen Breyer stated when asked about the site: "I’m glad the public is interested. The more the public knows about the court, the better."[5]
