Survey on Americans identifying Supreme Court Justices

Based on a survey conducted by Findlaw.com, most Americans can’t name any Supreme Court Justices. Looks like Americans should polish up a bit on the Judicial role of the government. But many can name at least one (hovering close to 45%) so that it isn’t really that drastic.

In spite of broad, high-profile news
coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court in the past year, 57 percent of Americans
can’t name any current U.S. Supreme Court justices. According to a new
national survey conducted by FindLaw.com, the leading legal Web site, only
43 percent of American adults can name at least one justice who is currently
serving on the nation’s highest court.
