Notes

  1. ^ All but one of Kagan's opinions were issued after Justice Scalia's death. Of the justices who participated the entire term, Thomas joined the fewest of Kagan's opinions, with two.
  2. ^ This opinion was handed down after the death of Justice Scalia, and so was unanimous as to the eight justices remaining on the Court.
