“It is to be hoped that this fine, even-handed book will help to bring an end to the political savagery that has characterized all too many Supreme Court confirmation hearings.”
—Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard University

“In Justice on Trial, Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino recount the hearings that captivated court-watchers, political junkies, and—by the end—the whole nation. Through a careful recounting of the events helped by scores of interviews with the political players, Hemingway and Severino have laid out the galvanizing tale of mudslinging and madness that reinforced the nation’s separation into rival political tribes. . . . Justice on Trial is an enjoyable read for today’s politically minded observer, and will be indispensable for any future historian’s analysis of what really happened in 2018.”
—National Review

“The authors’ deep knowledge of the players and the constitutional stakes shines throughout the book and makes for a thrilling and revealing read.”
—Edwin W. Meese III, 75th U.S. Attorney General

“Justice on Trial is a strongly written, impeccably researched account of the appointment of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, solid in its reporting and profound in its conclusions.”
—Washington Times
