Ep. 241: What We Learned About Ketanji Brown Jackson

Published: March 25, 2022, 11:41 p.m.

b'Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson\\u2019s testimony on Capitol Hill this week was marked with the kind of partisan theatrics that have become standard for Supreme Court confirmations in recent years. But the hearings also allowed Jackson to speak at length about her judicial philosophy and the mindset she brings to the bench, at times clashing with her billing as a deeply progressive jurist. Law360\\u2019s Jimmy Hoover joins the show this week to discuss what we learned from Jackson\\u2019s testimony and her path forward in the Senate. Also this week, the D.C. attorney general\\u2019s antitrust case against Amazon gets booted, and a federal judge privately muses about denying clerkships to students who protest and disrupt panel discussions at law schools. Finally, the Federal Circuit is sick and tired of all your dang rehearing petitions.'
