Dahlia Lithwick is joined by award-winning documentarian and lawyer Dawn Porter for a conversation about two projects shining a light on the law and how we can shape it: Porter’s new Showtime documentary series <a href="https://www.sho.com/deadlocked-how-america-shaped-the-supreme-court">Deadlocked: How America Shaped the Supreme Court</a>, and the paperback release of Dahlia’s book <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/598207/lady-justice-by-dahlia-lithwick/">Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America</a>. Together they trace the political shifts and cultural earthquakes from the Warren Court to the Burger, Rehnquist and now Roberts Court, and they discuss how the courts current crisis of legitimacy cannot be cured with a moratorium on criticism. In both Lady Justice and Deadlocked a truth surfaces: when it comes to the rule of law, there is no “plan b”, so the challenge to Dawn’s audience, Dahlia’s readers and Amicus listeners is the same: to use the law as a tool for progress and justice. <a href="https://my.slate.com/plus?utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=plus_pod&utm_content=Amicus&utm_source=show_notes">Sign up for Slate Plus</a> now to listen and support our show. Dahlia’s book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0525561382/?tag=slatmaga-20">Lady Justice: Women, the Law and the Battle to Save America</a>, is now out in paperback.
