How to cite US cases?
Im wanting to cite from the Alice v CLS 2014 case (US Supreme court) in one of my assignments but not sure how to cite it as im not used to citing american cases. I cant seem to find the official reported version, only a s.CT version which seems to be an unofficial report. Theres a 'slip opinion' online here

Should I cite the slip opinion or s.CT? And how would I cite a quote from the slip opinion? Cheers All!

The official reports are years behind. They are currently up to 2008.
Every American law school library has a webpage on citation.
