Her book, published in September, discusses her role in court and explains how she controls the case.
The book by U.S. Supreme Court Judge Amy Connie Barrett will be published in September on what it would be like to serve at the National Supreme Court.
After being appointed President Donald Trump for his first term, Barrett, now 53, was sworn in as a Supreme Court Associate Judge on October 27, 2020, replacing the late Judge Ruth Budder Ginsberg, who passed away on September 18th.
Memoir, “Listening the Law: Courts and Constitutional Reflections,” is scheduled to be released on September 9th.
In her memoir, Barrett, according to a publisher’s summary, “explains everything from her deliberation process to dealing with media scrutiny, expressing her role as justice (and everyday life) as justice.”
“The warmth and clarity that made her a popular law professor makes her a promising law professor, she brings to the creation of the constitution and explains her approach to interpreting the text,” the summary states.

“Whether she shares (late) Scalia’s story of justice or strolls through prominent cases, she invites her readers to tackle originality and embrace the rich legacy of our constitution,” the summary states.
From 1997 to 1998, she worked as law clerk for Judge Lawrence Silverman on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals. She was Antonin Scalia’s legal secretary in the Supreme Court during her term in 1998.
Barrett appeared in several public appearances with liberal justice Sonia Sotomayor last year, where he discussed how the judiciary can get along.
“Public scrutiny is welcome,” she said. “We welcome the increase and strengthening of citizen education.”
Barrett said at the time that she “gets thick skin and I think that’s what other people have to do, and that’s what every judge has to do.”
Barrett has taken an ideologically conservative stance on several key issues that have come before the Supreme Court since her arrival expanded the existing conservative majority.
She joined the court majority in June 2022 by voting for the DOBBS v. Jackson Women’s Health Agency, Roev. It overturned Wade and declared that he had no constitutional right to abortion.
In the same month, she voted for the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association vs. Blue En’s majority, recognising the constitutional right to carry firearms in public places in self-defense.
She also voted with the student majority for Fair Enrollment vs Harvard, a June 2023 ruling that banned positive actions in the university admissions process.
However, some of her votes have been criticized by conservatives.
For example, in June 2024, Barrett opposed the Fisher vs. America majority opinion. The majority ruled that those accused on January 6, 2021 could not prosecute security violations at the U.S. Capitol building under the Accounting Act, which imposed a 20-year sentence for blockages.
On March 5th this year, she voted for a majority in the State Department vs. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition. In that case, the court refused to overturn a lower court ruling requiring the Trump administration to track payments from $2 billion in foreign aid-related funds.
The day before, Barrett opposed the majority opinion of San Francisco vs. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The majority determined that the agency’s wastewater discharge system violated federal law.
In June 2024, Barrett opposed the majority opinion of Ohio vs. EPA. The majority voted to temporarily hold off the “good neighbor” rules for agencies that crack down on states where the industry is said to be contributing to smog.
The Epoch Times contacted the Supreme Court’s Public Relations Office to comment on Barrett’s upcoming books. There were no responses before the publication time.
