An excellent term for a U.S. Supreme Court advocate is victory in one of the most important cases on the docket. An extraordinary term is that victory plus an opportunity to argue-win or lose-in a second high-profile case. The excellent R. Ted Cruz of Texas is about to have an extraordinary term.
Cruz is not a member of the private Supreme Court bar whose collection of quill pens and generally high fees reflect its members’ considerable skills and successes before the justices.
