A Rollicking Primer on the U.S. Supreme Court

Twice a week for the past seven years, the conservative political operative turned legal whiz Sarah Isgur has sat down with New York Times columnist David French to make sense of the Supreme Court. Advisory Opinions, their popular podcast, explains the inner workings of the judiciary — doctrines, rulings, personalities — to laypeople and practitioners alike in a nontechnical way that never condescends.

Now, in Last Branch Standing, Isgur moves to the written word, exploring at book length how the high court has struggled to weather the hyper-partisan storm raging around it.
