In a special “Cases and Controversies” episode, top Supreme Court lawyer Kannon Shanmugam talks about running a high court practice during a pandemic.
Shanmugam gives hosts Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin an inside look at what it’s been like running the practice at Paul, Weiss, a role he took on last year having no idea what Covid-19 had in store.
The former Antonin Scalia clerk talks about arguing remotely at the high court, notching a staggering success-rate when it comes to getting petitions granted for review, mentoring younger lawyers, juggling family life, and, in one of the episode’s lighter moments, what it’s like being compared to pop star Britney Spears—with headsets, anyway.
Hosts: Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin.
Guest: Kannon Shanmugam.
Producer: David Schultz.
