KEYNOTE SPEAKER: NINA TOTENBERG
NPR’s Award-Winning Legal Affairs Correspondent Famous for Her Supreme Court coverage; Author of Dinners With Ruth (2022)
Nina Totenberg shines a light on the inner workings of our nation’s highest court and helps audiences understand the impact of headline-making judicial cases on America’s future.
Nina has won every major journalism award in broadcasting and holds the distinction of being the first radio journalist to have won the National Press Foundation’s “Broadcaster of the Year” award.
Referred to as “the crème de la crème” of NPR by Newsweek, Nina shares her seasoned reGections on the Supreme Court, top legal issues affecting everyday Americans, and the important cases being considered by the court. In-depth and wildly thought-provoking, her deep experience and nuanced perspective provides audiences insight into today’s judicial headlines like no one else can.
A tribute and testament to her nearly 50-year friendship with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Nina’s memoir, Dinners With Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships, has been published by Simon & Schuster in September of 2022.
