United States Reports publish the decisions of which court?

• A. United States Supreme Court
• B. United States Courts of Appeal
• C. State Supreme Courts
• D. Federal Circuit

Answer: (A)

United States Reports are the official reporter that contains the Supreme Court of the United States’ opinions. They serve as the authoritative record for the Court’s decisions, so citations to Supreme Court rulings typically use United States Reports. Decisions from other courts are published in their own reporters—courts of appeals in the Federal Reporter (and Federal Supplement for more concise summaries), state supreme courts in state reporters, etc.—so the Federal Circuit’s opinions aren’t published in United States Reports. That’s why this answer is the Supreme Court.
