The Supreme Court of the United States maintains its own website that includes the decision and written opinion of cases for the past few years. The decision is usually uploaded to the site the same day the decision is issued, and is the best source for up-to-date information.
Other sites, such as Oyez.org and Justia have online databases of Supreme Court decisions from the present Term all the way back to the Court's first recorded case. Justia has excellent tools that allow a user to search by case name, year or US Reports Volume number.

After state supreme court what is next?
That depends on the case. Often, the state supreme court is the end of the road for a case, making the decision of the state supreme court final and binding. Sometimes cases involved federal questions (issues arising under the US Constitution or federal law) that allow them to be appealed to the US Supreme Court. If the US Supreme Court hears such a case, it may affirm or overturn the state supreme court decision.
The supreme court has original jurisdiction in cases involving what?
Section 2 of Article III of the constitution sates:"In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction."The Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases involving two states, and cases involving ambassadors, consuls, or other public ministers.This is not to be confused with appellate jurisdiction. Original jurisdiction is when the court hears the case first. Appellate jurisdiction is when the court hears an appeal from another court of original jurisdiction.
What statement best defines the original jurisdiction of the US Supreme Court?
Article III of the Constitution describes the class of cases the Supreme Court may hear under original jurisdiction, but Congress determined whether the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction was shared or exclusive. Currently, the Supreme Court only exercises exclusive, original jurisdiction over disputes between the states. Cases involving ambassadors and other other foreign dignitaries are first heard in US District Court.
