It's finally Friday! That means it's time to sit back, drink some scotchka, argue about the best kind of milk product, and talk about whatever your heart desires.

Hi, I’m Kimberly Robinson, and I just covered the Supreme Court’s entire term. AMA!

Posted: 10 Jul 2020 09:06 AM PDT

I report for Bloomberg Law on cases at the Supreme Court, following the cases through orders and oral arguments, all the way to decision days. I also keep track of the justices and what they're up to around Washington, D.C. I've been a reporter with Bloomberg Law for the past eight years, where I've covered hot-button issues like abortion, immigration, and LGBT rights.

Before that, I worked as an associate at Morrison & Foerster LLP.

The last opinions from the court's 2019 term were just released Thursday, including those dealing with President Trump's taxes. It was a blockbuster term with surprise rulings on protections for LGBT workers, the Trump administration's efforts to undo deferred deportation for "Dreamers," and abortion. We still don't know if the justices will retake the bench in October, when they kick off their next term.

So what would you like to know? How did the pandemic affect work at the court? What's going on with Chief Justice John Roberts? Will anyone retire soon?
