  • The Summer 2024 SCOTUS Roundup

    The Summer 2024 SCOTUS Roundup
    Jun 6 2024
    The Supreme Court is busy this summer.

    Before the term ends in July, the Court will decide whether former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal charges for actions taken while in office. It could upend over three hundred Jan. 6 prosecutions, including Trump's, in a case about obstruction.

    But the Supreme Court's public approval rating remains historically low. Justice Samuel Alito's refusal to recuse himself from the Jan. 6 proceeding despite the hanging of controversial flags outside his homes has only deepened the Court's crisis of confidence.

    We talk about all the Supreme Court cases to watch this summer and the Court's integrity.

  • Best Of: The Psychology Of Jury Selection

    Best Of: The Psychology Of Jury Selection
    Jun 5 2024
    It's a right guaranteed not once, but twice in our constitution – a trial by jury. And many of us are asked to serve on them, whether we want to or not.

    Whether jury duty is a responsibility you dread or relish, the trial of former President Trump in Manhattan put the spotlight on the jury selection process – one that happens every day in courthouses across the country.

    We speak with legal experts about the role juries play in our justice system – and the psychology of jury selection.

    We also hear from someone who's served on a jury for another high-profile case.
