The Supreme Court term may be over, but fear not—there’s a (new) place to go for commentary on the Court (and the legal culture that surrounds it) to get your fix during the calm before the storm. Melissa Murray, Jaime Santos, Kate Shaw, and I recently launched Strict Scrutiny, a podcast about the Supreme Court and the legal culture that surrounds it. The podcast is produced by the wonderful Melody Rowell.

We will be starting up full time in the fall when the Court’s next term begins.  But we’re also releasing a few episodes over the summer.

You can listen to the teaser, Is This Thing On?, here.

Our very first episode is a recap of the Court’s last term. We focused on the census and partisan gerrymandering cases, as well as stare decisis. You can listen to episode one, Sipping My Tea, here.

And our most recent episode, which we released yesterday, discusses the Court’s death penalty and Armed Career Criminal Act cases. You can listen to episode two, Leg Day, here. 

We hope you enjoy the show!

The 11th Circuit held that laws banning conversion therapy — a brutal practice that significantly increases depression and suicide among LGBTQ youth — violate speech rights. The decision signals how Trump-appointed judges could weaponize the First Amendment to roll back civil rights.
