  • A Love Supreme

    We know about the opinions of Supreme Court justices from Marshall to Scalia, but do we know enough about their personalities? Legal eagle Jeffrey Rosen explains why High Court personalities matter to the law. Also, Socrates and the search for romance and the latest from the Libby trial.

Dispatches from the Trial

Ana Marie Cox, political correspondent for Time.com and author of Dog Days (Riverhead Books 2006), talks about the trials and tribulations of Scooter Libby.

The Supremes

Jeffrey Rosen, professor of law at George Washington University, legal correspondent and author, The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries That Defined America (Times Books/Henry Holt & Company, 2006), discusses current legal affairs and why personality matters more to a Justice's legacy than ideological dogmatism.
