The Evolution of Judicial Interpretation

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett joins Sarah Isgur and David French from the Lawyer’s Room at the Supreme Court. They begin with a lightning round of questions (Emergency docket? Certiorari pronunciation?) before diving into ACB’s thoughts on originalism and discussing her new book, Listening to the Law: Reflections on the Court and the Constitution.

The Agenda:
—Lightning round!
—Give up, “equity docket,” David
—Do oral arguments even matter anymore?
—All about originalism
—Life as a Justice Antonin Scalia clerk
—Law school: to go or not to go?
