Pronouncing Dictionary of the Supreme Court of the United States

Ever feel embarrassed in class because you are not sure you are pronouncing a case name correctly, or do you cringe when you hear someone else pronounce a case name incorrectly? 

Well, the Pronouncing Dictionary of the Supreme Court of the United States, put together by Yale Law School and Yale Linguistics students, is hoping "to help conscientious lawyers, judges, teachers, students, and journalists correctly pronounce often-perplexing case names."


The site includes phonetic pronunciation guides and audio for  Supreme Court cases that are most likely to be mispronounced.
