April 2, 2019

MILWAUKEE — Joan Biskupic, Marquette University alumna and author of several biographies of U.S. Supreme Court justices, will be the next featured guest in an upcoming “On the Issues with Mike Gousha,” Tuesday, April 9, at 12:15 p.m. in the Lubar Center at Marquette University Law School’s Eckstein Hall.

Biskupic has covered the U.S. Supreme Court since 1989 and has written books about Justices Antonin Scalia, Sandra Day O’Connor and Sonia Sotomayor. Her latest book, on Chief Justice John Roberts, The Chief: The Life and Turbulent Times of Chief Justice John Roberts, was released on March 26. Before joining CNN as a full-time legal analyst, Biskupic covered legal affairs and the Supreme Court for Reuters, USA Today and the Washington Post. She was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in explanatory journalism in 2015.

A Chicago native, Biskupic graduated from Marquette University with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and holds a law degree from Georgetown University. A member of the District of Columbia bar since 1994, she earned a master’s degree in English from the University of Oklahoma and holds honorary degrees from both Marquette and Georgetown.

Gousha, an award-winning journalist, continues his “On the Issues” series of provocative and insightful interviews with local and national public officials, journalists and other newsmakers throughout the year. A complete schedule is available online.

Through public programming such as the Marquette Law School Poll, debates featuring candidates in significant political races, Gousha’s “On the Issues” conversations with newsmakers, public lectures by leading scholars and conferences on significant issues of public importance, the Law School serves as the region’s leading venue for serious civil discourse about law and public policy matters.

The event is open to members of the general public at no cost; registration is required and is available online. Members of the media who are interested in attending should contact Kevin Conway, associate director of university communication, at kevin.m.conway@marquette.edu.
