Mr. Moran, the deep, baritone voice rang out.
I stood up with my hands shaking violently and walked to the lectern of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Four months earlier, the court had granted review in a case that I was representing an indigent defendant who had been convicted of a crime greater than he should have been convicted of.
And I had never been to the US Supreme Court before.
So I didn't know what I was in for.
And the first thing you do when you're a lawyer and you're going to a new court is you read the court rules.
And I read the court rules.
And one of the first things I noticed is that a counsel shall appear, and I quote, in dark conservative business attire.
Well, I'm a law professor, and I dress badly.
So I went to the department store at Briarwood Mall.
And I went to the men's department
And after teaching a class at the end of the day, and I was wearing pretty much what I'm wearing today, khaki pants, polo shirt, 5 o'clock shadow, and I said, I need a dark conservative business suit.
And the man looked me over, and he said, job interview, sir?
And I said, no, U.S.
Supreme Court argument.
And I'm certain he didn't believe me, but I got the suit.
And of course, the other part of things you do when you're preparing for US Supreme Court is you do a lot of preparation.
So the case was about the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment for those lawyers present.
I read every case I could to get as ready as I could, if possible.
But the problem is I had never even seen a US Supreme Court argument.
