Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who has faced intense scrutiny since joining the court, says she will make the judicial process less of a “mystery” for readers.
Since her nomination to the Supreme Court, Justice Amy Coney Barrett has faced scrutiny from all sides.
She weathered a swift and strong backlash from former supporters this month when she joined Democratic-appointed justices to reject President Trump’s request to freeze foreign aid funds.
In the days after the decision, members of her family received threats at their homes, including a pipe bomb hoax.
But in a signal that she was not retreating from public view, Justice Barrett announced new details of her upcoming memoir on Friday, promising a book that would make the process of judging less of a “mystery.”
The book, the justice’s first, will be titled “Listening to the Law: Reflections on the Court and Constitution,” It is scheduled to be released in September by Sentinel Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House known for publishing works by conservatives like Donald Rumsfeld, Ann Coulter and Marco Rubio.
In an announcement by her publisher, Justice Barrett promised a personal look at her life since she joined the court in 2020. She said she would bring readers into her daily life, from the deliberation process to media scrutiny, as she “pulls back the curtain on judicial process, as well as on her path to the court,” the announcement said.
