I create melamine plates with law related drawings on them. They are available for purchase at: www.thesupremes.etsy.com

To date, I have completed a set of portraits of the nine justices of the Roberts court, a set of important Interstate Commerce Clause cases, a set about punitive damages, the First Amendment and a set about executive detentions.

The project is an effort to incorporate civic engagement into daily life. The plates engage the eater with the business of the Court-- the people who sit on it and the doctrine that they develop, as well as the all-too-often hidden dramas of the parties engaged in the litigation.
