Special Master Reports Now Available on U.S. Supreme Court Site

Special Master Reports are now posted on the Supreme Court’s website, under the link for Dockets, which in turn has a link to Special Master Reports on the bottom portion of the page.

  • Via Wex: “A “special master” is appointed by a court to carry out some sort of action on its behalf. Theoretically, a “special master” is distinguished from a “master”. A master’s function is essentially investigative, compiling evidence or documents to inform some future action by the court, whereas a special master carries out some direct action on the part of the court. It appears, however, that the “special master” designation is often used for people doing purely investigative work, and that the simple “master” designation is falling out of use.”
