Four Supreme Court justices and their contributions to the law have been commemorated with the issuance of a stamp souvenir sheet bearing their likenesses: Justices Joseph Story (1779–1845), Louis D. Brandeis (1856–1941), Felix Frankfurter (1882–1965), and William J. Brennan Jr. (1906–1997).

Chief Justice John Roberts, Jr., and Thurgood Marshall, Jr., son of Justice Thurgood Marshall, with Postmaster General John E. Potter and Washington, DC Postmaster Yverne Moore, unveiled the stamp sheet during a ceremony at the Court. Marshall is a member of the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors; his father was honored with his own stamp in 2003.

Along with the justices likenesses, the stamp souvenir sheet incorporates images of the Supreme Court building and a detail from the first page of the United States Constitution.
