WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court justices reported Friday that they are receiving big-money advances for writing books about themselves or the law, often shortly after arriving at the court. She also reported receiving four concert tickets valued at $3,700 from Beyoncé. Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh reported receiving a $340,000 advance for what was described as a "legal memoir" that he is working on. Several justices in recent years have reported sizable book advances. Gabe Roth, executive director of a watchdog group Fix the Court, has been a steady critic of justices receiving gifts, including travel and free memberships in clubs.
