Please join us in honoring Linda Greenhouse for her contribution to lifelong learning and journalism.

What kind of future will the Supreme Court have after diverging so sharply from the public mood on abortion, guns, and perhaps other subjects as well such as the environment? What can we expect from this court?  Indeed, what do we as citizens have a right to expect from the Supreme Court? The majority on the Roberts court has driven it into unknown territory, with no obvious stopping point. There has never been a more important time to pay attention to the Supreme Court.

Ms. Greenhouse will be selling and signing her book at the event.


Linda Greenhouse is a senior research scholar at Yale Law School. Before starting a second career at Yale in 2009, she was the Supreme Court correspondent for the Times for nearly 30 years, winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1998 for her coverage of the court, among other major journalism awards. She writes regularly on the court for the Times opinion pages and for other publications.

In her extracurricular life, she has served since 2017 as president of the American Philosophical Society, the nation’s oldest learned society; she is its first female president since the society’s founding by Benjamin Franklin in 1743. She has been a member of the Harvard University Board of Overseers and the national Senate of Phi Beta Kappa. She is an honorary member of the American Law Institute.

 She is a graduate of Radcliffe College (Harvard) and earned a Master of Studies in Law degree from Yale Law School. Her most recent book, Justice on the Brink: The Death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Rise of Amy Coney Barrett, and Twelve Months that Transformed the Supreme Court, published in 2021, is her sixth. Others include a biography, Becoming Justice Blackmun; a personal memoir, Just a Journalist; and The Supreme Court: A Very Short Introduction, now in a second edition.
