There are many resources that are available such as those seen in the below screenshot. To access these resources, go to the SCOTUSblog homepage and clicking on resources at the top. For example, when the Supreme Court decided United States v. Jones, which held that attaching a GPS device to a vehicle and then using the device to monitor the vehicle’s movements constitutes a search under the Fourth Amendment, I accessed the blog and was able to get real-time analysis on what legal scholars felt this holding would mean to the law enforcement community. The blog was updated by the hour and gave the latest updates and legal articles. http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/united-states-v-jones/
