Teaching is encouraged as a way to demystify the nation’s highest court while exposing the justices to a cross-section of the public. Documents obtained by The Associated Press through public records requests reveal that some all-expenses-paid trips — to Italy, Iceland and Hawaii, among others — are light on classroom instruction, with ample time carved out for the Supreme Court justices’ leisure. Members of the Supreme Court are, seated from left, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Clarence Thomas, Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Elena Kagan.

She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at age 66. About 14% of Black people in America over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s, compared with 10% of white people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
