Jousting With Giants

Fittingly, one of Alan Morrison's last acts for the Public Citizen Litigation Group was asking Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to recuse himself in the Cheney case due to Scalia's hunting trip with the veep.

CUNY Law School Hosts Justice Ginsburg

Despite it being "Supreme Court Day" at City University of New York School of Law, a visit to Flushing, Queens, by an associate justice of the nation's high court is not common. So it was that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's recent campus address not only packed the main auditorium at CUNY Law, but filled two overflow lecture halls with an audience so enthralled, one could have heard a pin drop.
