Lisa Graves will read from her new nonfiction book Without Precedent: How Chief Justice Roberts and His Accomplices Rewrote the Constitution and Dismantled Our Rights. Described by Jane Mayer, author of Dark Money, as “A devastating, passionate takedown of Chief Justice John Roberts’s Supreme Court by a Washington insider,” Without Precedent is praised by the Los Angeles Review of Books as “A brilliant explanation of how conservative big money and a long-term strategy changed American politics, and a detailed account of the way political conservatives, inside and outside government, have shaped the Supreme Court and other federal courts since 1991.” Lisa Graves is one of the nation’s foremost experts on the right-wing influence on the US Supreme Court and other levers of power. She leads True North Research and co-hosts Legal AF. She has served as a senior advisor in all three branches of the federal government, including as chief counsel for nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee for Senator Patrick Leahy. She resides in Superior, Wisconsin.
