Supreme Makeover:
Inventing a New Model of Judicial Openness on the High Court
Next week’s panel discussion on news coverage of the U.S. Supreme Court now features speaker: Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor and Supreme Court correspondent for Slate.com. Lithwick, one of the leading journalists covering and commenting on the Court and the law, has joined the event to replace ABC News’ Jan Crawford Greenburg, who is unable to travel to Syracuse for the September 18 event because of an unavoidable work obligation in Washington, D.C.
Lithwick is a senior editor and legal correspondent for Slate. Her work appears in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Elle, on CNN.com and NPR, and in The American Lawyer. Lithwick has written extensively about the Court's obligation to interact with the public, and the sometimes-tricky issues that attend that interaction. Her most recent column on that topic –– praising Justice Antonin Scalia for his bluntness in revealing his personal feelings about the law –– can be found at http://www.slate.com/id/2170309/. Lithwick is the author of Me v. Everybody: Absurd Contracts for an Absurd World, a legal humor book. As a lawyer writing for a general–interest audience, Dahlia has the burden of knowing more than she writes – but the talent to tell complicated issues in a lively, humorous, and accessible way. Her legal work, outside of journalism, included clerking for a federal circuit chief judge and practicing family law in Reno. Dahlia holds an English degree from Yale and law degree from Stanford.
