Corporations and the Supreme Court

Since Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito joined the Supreme Court in the 2005-2006 term, the Court has become increasingly friendly toward big business, often elevating the interests of corporations over those of individuals and ruling for the Chamber of Commerce’s position nearly 70% of the time.

Beginning with our first study in 2010, we have tracked this trend through our reports on the Chamber of Commerce and its record before the Roberts Court. Below is a tally of the Chamber’s win-loss record during the Court’s current term. Read our review of the 2025-2026 term here.
