Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson earned more than $2 million for memoir
But Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett could report eye-popping figures in the future for her forthcoming memoir, which reportedly earned a $2 million advance.
Barrett's book, "Listening to the Law: Reflections on the Court and Constitution," is coming out in September.
The annual disclosure reports cover the preceding year of financial activity.
As is his usual practice, Justice Samuel Alito received a 90-day extension to file his annual report.
Jackson, in last year's report, disclosed she'd initially received a $893,750 advance for "Lovely One."
More: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson can throw a punch. Literally.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor continues to receive royalties - $73,944 last year - from children's books she's written. And she received a $60,000 advance from Penguin Random House for "Just Shine," another children's book to be published in September.
In May, multiple justices recused themselves from deciding whether to accept an appeal involving alleged plagiarism in books published by Penguin Random House. That meant there were not enough justices to consider the appeal, which left in place a lower court's ruling dismissing the lawsuit.
Other outside earnings and travel
In addition to income from their writings, several justices reported outside earnings from teaching.
Barrett and Justice Brett Kavanaugh each received $31,815 from Notre Dame Law School.
Gorsuch received $30,379.91 from George Mason University.
Travel the justices reported, without detailing their cost, included:

Rylan Clark calls for more stories about transgender people amid ‘wave of hate'
In an appearance at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Clark, 36, who has presented on This Morning and Big Brother's Bit On The Side, spoke about the adversity LGBT+ people can face, as well as his own experience growing up gay. He said: 'I feel that there is a mass wave of hate just sweeping the community, especially trans people at the moment. 'There's a lot of people that are talking about bathrooms and spaces and things like this and people are just being tarnished with the same brush.' The presenter explained there is a mindset that because one transgender person does something bad 'that means all trans people are awful people'. He said: 'Trans people … they're going through a wave of hate at the minute, and I think there is space to show real stories, real trans people. 'A lot of people out there think trans people are the enemy, f*** me. 'I'd like you to walk a mile in their shoes and see who the real enemy is out there to people, because the stories that I know of friends of mine and people that I've grown up with, transitions are awful, absolutely awful.' Over the Easter period, the Supreme Court declared that the words 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act refer to a biological woman and biological sex. The Equality And Human Rights Commission's interim update on the implications of the judgment said transgender people should not use toilets and other services of the gender they identify as. Trans rights protests took place across the country following the ruling and celebrities showed their support by signing an open letter in solidarity with transgender people. At the end of July, the London Trans Pride saw a record-breaking turnout of about 100,000 people, making it 'the largest Trans Pride event in history', according to organisers. Clark said he does not want or need Pride but added that the annual celebratory event is needed because of the way LGBT+ people are treated. At the Scottish TV event, the BBC Radio 2 presenter spoke to actor Russell Tovey and the two reflected on their respective experiences growing up gay in Essex. Speaking about a nightclub he would go to as a young man, Tovey said: 'It was a really important safe space, which I didn't realise at the time how important that was. 'And now you hear about so many safe spaces disappearing for so many queer people, and the importance of that, of somewhere where you can relax and be amongst the people who understand you. 'The disappearances of those is dangerous.'

Oregon city at heart of Supreme Court homelessness ruling to ensure camping spaces under settlement
The Oregon city at the heart of a major U.S. Supreme Court homelessness ruling has agreed to ensure camping spaces for at least 150 people as part of a settlement reached with a disability rights group that sued the city over its camping rules. Disability Rights Oregon, which sued Grants Pass in January, said Friday that it had reached a settlement agreement. The advocacy group accused the city of discriminating against people with disabilities and violating a state law requiring cities' camping regulations to be 'objectively reasonable.' 'This settlement represents a significant step forward in ensuring people with disabilities experiencing homelessness have places to rest, basic necessities like drinking water, and real opportunity to stabilize their lives,' Jake Cornett, executive director and CEO of Disability Rights Oregon, said in a statement. Grants Pass Mayor Clint Scherf said in an email Tuesday that the city appreciates having reached an agreement and will "continue to work toward effective measures to benefit all members of our community.' A copy of the settlement agreement showed the city signed off on it earlier this month. Josephine County Circuit Court Judge Sarah McGlaughlin issued a preliminary injunction in March blocking the city from enforcing its camping rules unless it increased capacity at city-approved sites for camping and ensured they are physically accessible to people with disabilities. City ordinances prohibit sleeping or leaving personal property in a park overnight in most cases. Those found in violation can be fined up to $50. The city said Friday on Facebook that law enforcement 'will begin noticing the parks, and occupants will have 72 hours to remove their belongings.' The city's website shows three 'designated resting locations' in the downtown area, near City Hall and the police station, where people can stay for four days before having to relocate. The time limit can be enforced unless disability accommodations are necessary, the city said on Facebook. At resting sites, individuals are limited to spaces that are 8 feet by 8 feet (2.4 meters by 2.4 meters), with buffers of 3 feet (0.9 meters) between spaces, as outlined in city code. Under the settlement, Grants Pass must ensure that at least 150 camping spaces are available in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act for the next 12 months. Drinking water and hand washing stations must be available on-site. The city must also provide $60,000 in grant funding to a nonprofit for homeless services. Grants Pass, a small city of about 40,000 along the Rogue River in the mountains of southern Oregon, has struggled for years to address the homelessness crisis and become emblematic of the national debate over how to deal with it. Its parks in particular became a flashpoint, with many of them becoming the site of encampments blighted by drug use and litter. Last June, in a case brought by the city, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that communities can ban sleeping outside and fine people for doing so, even when there are not enough shelter beds. After the high court ruling, Grants Pass banned camping on all city property except locations designated by the City Council, which established sites for the town's hundreds of homeless people in a bid to move them from the parks. Upon taking office in January, the new mayor and new council members moved to close the larger of the two sites, which housed roughly 120 tents, according to Disability Rights Oregon's complaint, which said the sites were frequently crowded with poor conditions and inaccessible to people with disabilities because of loose gravel. After the lawsuit was filed, the city reopened a second, smaller site. McGlaughin's order in March said the city had to increase capacity to what it had been before the larger site was closed. Homelessness increased 18% last year nationwide, driven mostly by a lack of affordable housing as well as devastating natural disasters and an increase in migrants in some areas.
