SCOTUSblog is seeking a new blog manager. We are looking for a smart, creative person who is fascinated by the Supreme Court and dedicated to producing incisive and impartial legal journalism.
The blog manager works closely with the editor and deputy blog manager to plan and publish all of SCOTUSblog’s content. This person also manages most aspects of the website — posting articles, keeping the statistics page current, updating case pages the moment that decisions get handed down, brainstorming and implementing new digital features, and much more. The blog manager sometimes covers Supreme Court-related events such as congressional hearings, justices’ speeches or other topics of interest. And the blog manager works closely with dozens of law professors and lawyers to plan and organize SCOTUSblog’s award-winning case coverage and symposia.
The ideal candidate will have some knowledge of the Supreme Court (or the law in general) and will have some journalism experience. Both areas, however, are not strictly required for folks with exceptional qualifications in just one of those areas. Candidates must be adept at multi-tasking and working in a fast-paced environment – the job requires juggling numerous substantive and administrative tasks, often on tight deadlines. Strong writing and editing are essential. So is a laser-like attention to detail.
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
In addition to the qualifications described above, we’ll take special notice of candidates with any of the following skills (though none are required):
This is a full-time position with comprehensive benefits, including a 401(k) plan and excellent health insurance with full premium coverage. The position is located in Bethesda, Maryland, though we currently work mainly remotely.
SCOTUSblog is committed to hiring folks from all backgrounds and life experiences. Everyone is encouraged to apply.
We are looking to hire someone as soon as possible. To apply, email jromoser@scotusblog.com and include “Blog manager position” in the subject of the email. Include the following materials:

It is now 9 AM in Texas and there is still no word from SCOTUS on the abortion ban. The ban has been in effect since midnight despite the fact it defies Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Here’s @AHoweBlogger’s coverage of the court’s inaction:

It is now after midnight central time and there has been no ruling from the Supreme Court on the Texas law that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. That means the law has officially taken effect. An emergency request to block the law remains pending at SCOTUS.
Here at SCOTUSblog HQ it’s more like this:
