Politics and the U.S. Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court has long been the leading arbiter of constitutional law, but in recent years the Justices have also gained widespread public attention for their political affinities. Join judicial experts James D. Zirin and Philip C. Bobbitt for a discussion on this intense political polarization and a look at the highest court as you’ve never seen it before.

James D. Zirin is a leading litigator and writer, the host of the acclaimed talk show Conversations in the Digital Age, and the author of Supremely Partisan: How Raw Politics Tips the Scales in the United States Supreme Court. Philip C. Bobbitt (moderator) is Herbert Wechsler Professor of Jurisprudence at Columbia University and director of the Center on National Security at Columbia Law School.
