Stacey Abrams on While Justice Sleeps

Voting-rights activist and Georgia politician Stacey Abrams joins SCOTUStalk to discuss her new novel, While Justice Sleeps, a thriller about the Supreme Court. We talk with Abrams about her writing process, being told “no” multiple times for what is now a New York Times bestseller, and what it’s like to be one of the few women writing fiction set at the high court. Abrams also hints at what’s next for her main character -- and for her own life.
