Think the Supreme Court is boring? Think again! Join Professor Susan Low Bloch in an evening of fun, facts and fancy about the U.S. Supreme Court's past, present, and future. Experience the terror of the woman who, as his young law clerk, told Justice Thurgood Marshall his draft opinion was wrong! Hear the Justice's unpublished - and unexpurgated - response! Consider the plight of lost tourists who accidentally entered the Justice's private elevator, turned to Justice Marshall and said, "Third floor, please!" Understand why Justice Antonin Scalia guest lectured at Professor Bloch's class for 30 years!
