LENOX, Mass. — The Lenox Library and The Bookstore will collaborate to present legal scholar Stephen Vladeck in conversation with Pulitzer Prize winner Linda Greenhouse on Thursday, July 20, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. 
 
This event will take place at Lenox Library, 18 Main Street. No registration is required.
 
In his New York Times bestseller, "The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic," Stephen Vladeck exposes the Supreme Court's increasing use of unsigned, unexplained orders to change the law—all behind closed doors.
 
Stephen Vladeck holds the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at the University of Texas School of Law. His work has been published in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and Slate. He has argued before the Supreme Court and has been CNN's Supreme Court Analyst since 2013. Vladeck lives in Austin, Texas.
 
In her most recent book, "Justice on the Brink: A Requiem for the Supreme Court," Linda Greenhouse provides insight into a court under stress, providing the context and analysis readers of her work in The New York Times have come to expect.
 
Linda Greenhouse is a Clinical Lecturer in Law, Knight Distinguished Journalist-in-Residence, and a Senior Research Scholar in Law at Yale Law School. She covered the Supreme Court for The New York Times between 1978 and 2008 and continues to write regularly for the newspaper's Opinion pages. Greenhouse received several major journalism awards during her 40-year career at the Times, including the Pulitzer Prize in 1998.
 
Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
