Former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s two-volume memoir, recounting his early life in California and 30 years of service on the court, is set to be published in the fall.

Famous as the swing vote on the court before he retired in 2018, he wrote controversial opinions on same-sex marriage, campaign finance, and the detention of enemy combatants. Justice Kennedy also holds the distinction of being the only Supreme Court justice to have two of his former clerks—Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh—appointed to the court.
