Interesting question & not one necessarily solved by searching current legal journalists. Thoughts @dahlialithwick.bsky.social? I’d ask Lisa Tucker, law prof who’s written kids books about SC justices, but she’s not on here.

Dahlia Lithwick is a perfect example of someonewho manages to get some distance into the legal weeds without ceasing to be the sort of commentator that normal, non-lawyers can find interesting & engaging. I will probably end up assigning some "Slate" stuff.
