Law360 (May 13, 2021, 5:27 PM EDT) -- On this week's episode of The Term, the hosts interview the co-authors of a forthcoming book examining the U.S. Supreme Court's long, fraught history with race, from the first days of the republic to the modern-day Roberts court.

Each week on The Term, Supreme Court reporter Jimmy Hoover and co-host Natalie Rodriguez break down all the high court action.

With a slow news week at the court, the hosts interview Vernon Burton and Armand Derfner, the co-authors of "Justice Deferred: Race and the Supreme Court," arguably the first book to comprehensively study the high court's jurisprudence on issues of race.

Burton, a prizewinning historian, and Derfner, a veteran civil rights litigator, discuss the evolution of the Supreme Court's handling of race, from the failed promise of Reconstruction to recent cases at the court.
