Abstract
In late January 2021, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a long list of orders. It concluded with a single sentence: “It is ordered that Rebecca Anne Womeldorf be appointed Reporter of Decisions of this Court . . . , effective January 25, 2021, . . . charged with the duty of reporting the decisions of the present Term which have not been reported prior to January 25, 2021.” The order was silent about the immense challenge facing the new Reporter in the form of unpublished decisions from prior terms. Actions taken by Ms. Womeldorf and her staff, in the three years since, demonstrate a clear awareness of that challenge and a serious effort to address it.
