Her book, set for publication in September, will discuss her role at the court and explain how she rules on cases.
A book by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett about what it’s like to serve on the nation’s highest court will be published in September.
After being nominated by President Donald Trump in his first term, Barrett, now 53, was sworn in as an associate justice of the Supreme Court on Oct. 27, 2020, replacing the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died the previous Sept. 18.
The memoir, “Listening to the Law: Reflections on the Court and Constitution,” is scheduled to be released on Sept. 9.
Although the publisher, Sentinel, a division of Penguin Random House, did not respond by publication time to The Epoch Times’s request to confirm the publication of the upcoming book, as of March 21, the publisher is listing the work and expected publication date on its website.
In the memoir, Barrett “lays out her role (and daily life) as a justice, touching on everything from her deliberation process to dealing with media scrutiny,” according to the publisher’s summary.
“With the warmth and clarity that made her a popular law professor, she brings to life the making of the Constitution and explains her approach to interpreting its text,” the summary states.
“Whether sharing stories of clerking for [the late] Justice Scalia or walking readers through prominent cases, she invites readers to wrestle with originalism and to embrace the rich heritage of our Constitution,” the summary states.
Barrett served as a law professor at Notre Dame Law School from 2002 until 2020. She continued to teach part-time at the school while she served as a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit from 2017 to 2020.
