Episode notes

Just Law co-host Tom Blakely interviews Lisa Gochman, who argued the landmark criminal sentencing case Apprendi v. New Jersey before the United States Supreme Court in March 2000. Her recently published memoir, At the Altar of the Appellate Gods (Indiana University Press, October 2022), "captures the terror, wonder, and joy of standing before the nine justices of the Rehnquist Court to defend the constitutionality of New Jersey’s Hate Crime Statute."
