Thomas Che Goldstein (born 1970) is an American lawyer. He is known for his advocacy before and blog about the Supreme Court of the United States. He was a founding partner of Goldstein and Howe (later Goldstein & Russell),[4] a Washington, D.C., firm specializing in Supreme Court litigation, and was, until the end of 2010, a partner at Akin Gump, where he was co-head of the litigation and Supreme Court practices. He retired from Goldstein & Russell in March 2023.[5]
In 2003, Goldstein co-founded SCOTUSblog, the most widely read blog covering the Supreme Court, and remains the publisher and occasional contributor, providing analyses and summaries of Supreme Court decisions and cert petitions. He has taught Supreme Court Litigation at Harvard Law School since 2004, and at Stanford Law School from 2004-2012.
On January 16, 2025, Goldstein was indicted in Maryland federal court on charges he schemed to evade taxes for years and used funds from his boutique law firm to cover gambling debts and fraudulently hiring female employees with whom he was having intimate personal relationship, allowing them to obtain health insurance.[6]
