根据周一公开的财务披露报告,最高法院大法官索尼娅·索托马约尔从一家以坏兔子为旗下艺人的波多黎各唱片公司收受了价值超过4000美元的演唱会门票。
作为法院自由派阵营成员的索托马约尔披露,自己从Rimas娱乐公司获得了4333美元的演唱会门票,用于“2025年8月我私人前往波多黎各旅行期间,我和随行嘉宾的一场演唱会”。当时坏兔子正在波多黎各进行为期数周的系列演出。
这是周一公开的最高法院大法官及其他司法人员年度披露报告中的几项重大披露之一——就在几小时前,最高法院公布了本届任期内几项最重要的判决。
大法官们报告称,从出版商处获得的图书出版及全国巡回宣传报酬总计超过200万美元。
但这也暴露了披露报告的细节缺失:索托马约尔的报告中并未明确提及她出席的是哪一场演唱会。最高法院发言人未回应有关索托马约尔报告的置评请求。
由总统乔·拜登提名的大法官凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊报告称,从企鹅兰登书屋获得了120万美元的图书“预付款”收入。杰克逊仍在全国巡回宣传她2024年出版的回忆录《可爱之人》,近期还推出了该书的青少年版。
唐纳德·特朗普总统任期内最后一位最高法院提名的大法官艾米·科尼·巴雷特报告称,从Javelin集团获得了近85万美元收入,该集团去年出版了她的首部作品《聆听法律》。
保守派大法官尼尔·戈萨奇也在各地活动中宣传他撰写的一本以《独立宣言》为主题的儿童读物。戈萨奇报告称,去年从哈珀柯林斯出版社获得了30万美元的版税收入。
年薪超过30万美元的最高法院大法官每年收受的外部收入不得超过约3万美元。图书出版收入不受该政策限制,这也促使九位大法官撰写除司法意见之外的作品。
保守派大法官塞缪尔·阿利托如同往年惯例,申请了额外时间提交年度披露报告。
大法官们还列出了多次国内外出行行程。
例如,巴雷特报告称去年秋季前往伦敦参加了由圣母大学法学院资助的“法律理论研讨会”。戈萨奇于7月前往布拉格,参加由乔治·梅森大学赞助的“教育项目”。

Justice Sonia Sotomayor received more than $4,000 in concert tickets from a Puerto Rican record label that counts Bad Bunny among its clients, according to a financial disclosure report made public Monday.
Sotomayor, a member of the court’s liberal wing, disclosed receiving $4,333 in concert tickets from Rimas Entertainment “for a concert for me and guests while I was on a private trip to Puerto Rico in August 2025.” Bad Bunny was taking part in a weekslong series of performances in Puerto Rico at that time.
It was one of several notable revelations from the annual disclosure reports from the Supreme Court justices and other members of the judiciary that were made public Monday — hours after the high court handed down some of the most important decisions of its current term.
The justices reported more than $2 million in payments from publishers for books and trips across the country to promote those works.
But it also underscored the lack of detail that’s available in the reports: Nowhere does Sotomayor’s report explicitly mention which concert she attended. A court spokesperson did not respond to questions about Sotomayor’s report.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who was nominated by President Joe Biden, reported $1.2 million in book “advance” revenue from Penguin Random House. Jackson continues to tour the country promoting her memoir, “Lovely One,” which she published in 2024. Jackson recently published a young adult version of her book.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was President Donald Trump’s last nominee to the high court, reported nearly $850,000 in revenue from Javelin Group, which last year published her first book, “Listening to the Law.”
Justice Neil Gorsuch, a conservative, has also been appearing at events to promote a children’s book he wrote that is focused on the Declaration of Independence. Gorsuch reported $300,000 in royalty income last year from HarperCollins Publishers.
Supreme Court justices, who earn more than $300,000 a year, are barred from receiving more than about $30,000 in outside income annually. Book revenue is exempt from that policy, creating an incentive for the nine to write beyond their opinions.
Conservative Justice Samuel Alito asked for additional time to file his annual report, as has been his practice over the years.
The justices also listed several trips abroad and in the US.
Barrett, for instance, reported traveling to London last fall for a “legal theory workshop” that was paid for by the University of Notre Dame Law School. Gorsuch traveled to Prague in July for an “educational program” sponsored by George Mason University.
