NPR's Nina Totenberg recalls her career path, her personal evolution and the tight bond she shared with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The NPR legal affairs correspondent met the future SCOTUS justice in the early '70s, when Totenberg interviewed Ruth Bader Ginsburg for a story about a decision pertaining to women's rights.

NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg pays tribute to her longtime, controversial relationship with Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her new memoir “Dinners With Ruth.”

The reporter's memoir takes readers on a jaunt through her captivating life and career, nose for the jugular, forthrightness about her joys and sorrows — and the history of women in the workplace.

The NPR legal affairs correspondent writes of the power of friendship, including the very special ties she formed with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

A wave of decisions by the Supreme Court's conservative majority has lead to criticism that the court is more politicized than it used to be. Now there's data to support that claim. Researchers with The Supreme Court Database — which is run by legal scholars from multiple universities — have shown that the court produced more conservative decisions this term than at any time since 1931.NPR's Legal Affairs Correspondent Nina Totenberg joined Jamal Greene, a Constitutional law professor from Columbia University, and Tom Goldstein, the founder of SCOTUSBlog, to talk about the implications of the decisions from the term.

There are lots of questions about what happens now after the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe v. Wade. Here are six that have political implications.

A clerk for a conservative justice is the “leading theory” amid intense speculation about who released a draft opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito showing the court is set to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg of NPR. Totenberg said on ABC’s “This Week” that the prevailing theory is that…

The court says it's routine for justices to circulate draft opinions internally. It's part of a larger procedure that involves deliberating, voting and assigning writers.

NPR’s public editor said Totenberg was wrong to report that Chief Justice Roberts had “asked” justices to wear masks.

Two Supreme Court justices say a media report they were at odds over the wearing of masks during the surge in coronavirus cases is false.

The statement came after a report said that Gorsuch refused to wear a mask, despite a request from Chief Justice John Roberts for all justices to do so.

Gorsuch's refusal to wear a mask has led Sotomayor, who has diabetes and is at a higher risk from Covid, to attend proceedings remotely, the report said.

Gorsuch's refusal to wear a mask led Sotomayor, who has diabetes, to attend oral arguments virtually. The justices are all vaccinated and boosted.

But the justice was philosophical about the outcome: "I wrote a dissent — and that's the way it works," he said. The decision was part of what court watchers call the "shadow docket."
