In Losing Twice, CU law professor Emily Calhoun examines the actions of Supreme Court justices toward losing parties in constitutional rights disputes. She explores the unwarranted harm that many justices inflict on those who lose disputes despite the obligation of justices to avoid harming those whose arguments are rejected. The book highlights real disputes in topics such as affirmative action, abortion and gay rights and draws on political theory to question the practices of justices.
