Listening to a Justice | Interview: Justice Amy Coney Barrett

Sep 9, 2025

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?
