• The University of Michigan Law Library has a Hot Topics page on the man that includes biographical information, links to his legal opinions, articles he authored, and more.
• The Library of Congress provides a page of selected resources (some are just citations without links), though the links to web resources (blogs and media profiles) are valuable.
• Findlaw has a profile page on Alito including a selection of the high-profile cases in which he has produced written opinions, as well as news and commentary on him.
