An Inside Look at US Supreme Court Deliberations

Guest: University of Minnesota Morse Alumni Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Law Timothy Johnson.

The US Supreme Court is the final arbiter of legal issues that can alter the course of history.  Yet, much of its decision-making process takes place in private. A citizen scientist research project aims to shed light on these closed-door deliberations. University of Minnesota Morse Alumni Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Law Timothy Johnson describes his efforts to transcribe the justices’ handwritten notes for broad public access.
