WASHINGTON − Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made more than $2 million last year for her best-selling memoir, according to the latest round of financial disclosure reports for the justices which became public on June 17.
Jackson’s book, “Lovely One,” made the New York Time’s bestseller list when it came out last year amid an extensive publicity tour for the court’s newest member.
That’s much more than the $250,000 in royalties Justice Neil Gorsuch reported earning last year for a book on the law he co-authored with a former clerk.
But Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett could report eye-popping figures in the future for her forthcoming memoir, which reportedly earned a $2 million advance.
Barrett’s book, “Listening to the Law: Reflections on the Court and Constitution,” is coming out in September.
