Justice Kagan spoke about life as a Supreme Court justice, cameras in the court room, and interpreting the law. She was interviewed by Elliot Gerson, former law clerk to former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart. She also took questions from audience members. When asked, she declined to say if she will recuse herself if the 2010 health care law comes before the court. At the time of the program, Justice Kagan had recused herself from about 30 cases because she was previously the U.S. solicitor general.
