Mr. Chief Justice, please report.

It's an old joke, but when a man argues against a beautiful lady's life,

they're going to have the last word.

She spoke not elegantly, but with unmistakable clarity.

Welcome back, everyone, to Strix Gertney, your podcast about the Supreme Court and the legal culture that surrounds it. I'm Leo Litman.

I'm Jamie Santos.

And I'm Kate Shaw.

And we have with us today a very special guest for a very special episode.

So this episode is going to be just limited to a recap of the Title VII arguments.

There was so much to talk about with the arguments and the cases we didn't want to give short shrift to it by just lumping it in together in a general recap episode.

And so we also decided to have on with us an incredibly special guest, Jay Austin, senior associate dean of enrollment and financial aid at Rutgers Law School.

Recently, Jay was the inaugural dean of admissions at UCI Law.

He has decades of experience as the chief admissions officer at several of the nation's top law schools.

Jay, welcome to Strix Gertney.

Thank you. Thank you.

So Jay has spent his entire adult life shepherding nearly two generations to law school.

And at the same time, Jay also lives authentically as a black man of the trans experience.

So as we were thinking about doing an episode on Title VII, I thought who better to do this episode with than Jay Austin, who has spent decades shaping the community of law students and who I learned so much from at UCI when I had the opportunity to work on the admissions committee with him for two years.

Jay is also willing to use his voice to speak on behalf of communities that have been marginalized.
