Introducing Lady Justice, a podcast where four women Supreme Court justices on their state's high court come together to focus on our nation’s state courts. It’s another perspective on the workings of our justice system.
How it Started
Before the creation of the Lady Justice: Women of the Court podcast, the four women came together in April 2020 to answer questions about the judicial branch of government posed by Justice Rhonda Wood's granddaughter, Blakeley. After the recording of this video, the justices decided they wanted to get together more often to create educational content.
