Zachary Shemtob is the executive editor at SCOTUSblog and is based in Summit, New Jersey. Prior to joining the company in 2025, he was an attorney at a boutique law firm in New York. When Zach is not commissioning and editing pieces, he is probably listening to heavy metal, watching a horror movie, or being jumped on by his children.
Amy Howe is a reporter at SCOTUSblog, based in Washington, D.C. Before SCOTUSblog became part of the The Dispatch in 2025, she worked for the blog as a reporter and as its editor. In her previous incarnation as a practicing lawyer, she argued two cases before the Supreme Court. When Amy is not covering opinions or emergency appeals at the Court, she is probably at the gym, the pool, or walking her two poodle mixes, (Michael) Jordan and (Dean) Smith.
