Jackson Breaks Mold for New Justices at Oral Argument


Listen Later

  • Jackson spoke significantly more than any other justice
  • Was joined by other liberals as most talkative

  • Ketanji Brown Jackson made her mark on US Supreme Court arguments like no other new justice in memory.

    Her historic confirmation as the first Black woman justice was followed by seven months of oral arguments in which she spoke almost twice as much as any other of her colleagues, according to Empirical SCOTUS’ Adam Feldman. Jackson so far has defied the norm of junior justices taking a back seat during their first few terms.

    Latham & Watkins’ Roman Martinez joins the podcast to look at Jackson’s first term as well as what the future might hold.

    Co-hosts Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler also breakdown the court’s most recent opinions, including a highly anticipated copyright case and a sigh of relief for social media companies.

    Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler

    Guest: Roman Martinez, Latham & Watkins

    Producer: Matthew S. Schwartz
