Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief. The justices are flexing their wings a bit this summer. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Amy Coney Barrett will engage in a conversation on civics education and engagement on Thursday at the Reagan Institute Summit on Education. Yale Law’s Akhil Amar will moderate. Justice Elena Kagan attended the Ninth Circuit’s conference in Montana. We have some of her thoughts on how the Supreme Court can protect its legitimacy. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has set up shop in Justice Stephen Breyer’s former chambers along with her four clerks, who are diverse in gender, race and experiences. Plus, scroll down to read continuing fall-out from the court’s decisions on abortion and guns.
Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
