Justice Amy Coney Barrett reflects on life on the court during Federalist Society talk

Justice Amy Coney Barrett struck a lighter tone Thursday evening as she reflected on her three years on the Supreme Court during a speech before the conservative legal group the Federalist Society.

Appearing for a talk at the group’s black-tie dinner held in honor of the late Justice Antonin Scalia, Barrett drew laughs from a crowd of 2,500 people as she remembered the conservative giant, for whom she clerked, and told stories about life on and off the bench.
