Winner, Online Commentary, Online Journalism Awards 2001.The judges said Lithwick really brings Supreme Court reporting alive, making coverage of a usually staid and serious beat vivid and enlightening, giving the reader a sense of the scene and tone inside the courthouse. Every column makes use of Slate's reader response board, The Fray, to launch a debate about the column topic.

Sargon, sorry if i was offensive--didn't mean to be. If you were just kidding, forget it.
Skally, thanks for that info about Dahlia Lithwick. She's a clever writer.
