FantasySCOTUS is an online fantasy league created by Josh Blackman.[1][2] FantasySCOTUS was subsequently acquired by LexPredict, LLC.[3]

Those participating in the league predict how each member of the United States Supreme Court will rule on any given case. As of 2014, more than 25,000 had signed up.[4] A high school version was created with the goal of raising awareness of constitutional law.[5]

It is credited with correctly predicting the 2015 Supreme Court rulings that same-sex couples are constitutionally entitled to marry and upholding a key funding platform of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), sometimes termed “Obamacare.”[6]
