Four recent law school graduates clerk for the Supreme Court, navigating life and love while confronting the toughest cases of their generation.
As any young lawyer knows, clerking for a Supreme Court Justice could make or break your career before it even begins. Tensions are already high as four very different candidates vie for the highly coveted positions, their reasons for being there informed by their backgrounds— and personal baggage. But as they tackle case after case, each more difficult and emotional than the last, the clerks realize the Court must reckon with an internal threat if justice is to be truly served.
Voiced by Janina Edwards. Created by Catherine McKenzie. Written by Randy Susan Meyers, Shawn Klomparens, Kermit Roosevelt III, Elyssa Friedland, Jasmine Guillory, and Catherine McKenzie. Produced by Hayley Wagreich. Executive Produced by Molly Barton. Audio Edited by Amanda Rose Smith. Sound Designed by Amanda Rose Smith. Musical Theme by Amanda Rose Smith.
