UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Dahlia Lithwick's lecture on the Supreme Court and American democracy, originally scheduled for March 18 in the Lewis Katz Building on Penn State's University Park campus, has been postponed to the fall 2025 semester due to unforeseen circumstances.
The McCourtney Institute for Democracy is working to find a new date in the fall semester and will share additional details on its website and email newsletter once the details are confirmed.
One of the nation’s foremost legal commentators, Lithwick is host of "Amicus," Slate’s weekly podcast about the law and the Supreme Court. She’s also an MSNBC legal analyst and author of The New York Times bestseller, “Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America.”
Lithwick has held visiting faculty positions at the University of Georgia Law School, the University of Virginia School of Law, and the Hebrew University Law School in Jerusalem. She was the first online journalist invited to be on the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press. She has testified before Congress about access to justice in the era of the Roberts Court.
