Amy Coney Barrett scores $2 million book advance

Published April 20, 2021 3:54pm ET



Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett has scored a $2 million advance for a book about how judges should not bring their personal feelings into their rulings.

The deal, first reported by Politico, is an “an eye-raising amount” for a Supreme Court justice, and it is most likely the biggest advance a member of the court has received since Clarence Thomas or Sandra Day O’Connor landed similar deals.
