Last Branch Stands, The Barbara Court Sits - Special Guest Sarah Isgur
Episode 274
Tuesday, 14 April, 2026

This week it’s Attorney Cecilia Wang’s turn, as she appears before the Supreme Court to defend birthright citizenship in the Trump v. Barbara case, and we continue to analyze clips of the oral argument. Meanwhile, we are joined by the host of the popular Advisory Opinions podcast: Sarah Isgur, who has written a new book that will be published, well, today. Last Branch Standing takes us inside the Supreme Court from the life of a clerk to a tour of the Court’s history to a statistical analysis of voting patterns on the Court - which are far more complex than is commonly thought. You can’t help but know more after this episode than you did coming in! CLE credit available from podcast.njsba.com.
