The Eyes of the Law: Justice Scalia at Georgetown
Our latest legal celebrity sighting: Justice Antonin Scalia, spotted at Georgetown University Law Center. He is believed to have been at GULC to speak to a con law class.
Of the current justices on the Supreme Court, Justice Scalia clearly inspires the greatest amount of fanatical devotion. How many other justices have their own fansite?
(Okay, Justice Thomas has one too. And with his new, bestselling memoir, My Grandfather's Son, he's definitely building a fan base. But we still think that Justice Scalia has the most groupies of any member of the SCOTUS.)
And how many other justices are asked to sign students' laptop computers? This student, who had his laptop autographed by AS, was proudly displaying his computer to his classmates, saying that he felt Scalia had "blessed" his laptop for the upcoming exams.
With such a large and devoted following, we have a feeling that Justice Scalia's forthcoming book -- Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges, a guide to persuasive legal writing and oral advocacy, which he's writing together with legendary legal writing teacher Bryan Garner -- will sell pretty well too.

Nice Shirt!
Is the guy in the pic wearing a Cumberland t-shirt? Maybe his undergrad school? Scalia must have been sooooo impressed.
Is he wearing a Cumberland t-shirt?
his chances of being cool, slim as they were, are ruined forever
maybe it's a timberlake shirt... in which case, how could Scalia not have been impressed?
Eesh. That's not something I want to see first thing in the morning.
100,000k says this dude is a virgin.
spank bank...reloaded.
what a toolbox
This kid came into my corps class later in the day. Why? Because he lost the laptop.
100,000k equals 100 million. I'm going out on a limb and guessing that 10:50(2) does not have ready access to that kind of scratch.
10:53
I think everyone can agree. This guy is a total tool.
stop hating just because he got scalia's signature!
woooo!!!!
I went to GULC and we had the currently scandal-engulfed Judge Kent come speak to my property class. He was entertaining, but he also came off as crazy. Not that I agree with most of Justice Scalia's opinions, but it would have been super interesting to hear him speak as well. Which Con Law section was it?
This dork has never felt the warm embrace of a fine woman. Hot man ass, however, he is intimately familiar with.
That guy is ugly even by law school standards.
Lat,
Big law firm "holiday" cards are coming out. You should have a contest to show which law firm's card is the biggest war on Christmas. It's more than just saying holidays instead of Christmas. Many law firms seem to be afraid to even have a picture on the card let alone the colors red and green. Some even have a bunch of different languages.
The sad part is the firms are not being ironic with their ultra-PC cards.
It was Con Law 2 w/professor Bloch. A few 1Ls snuck in. He wasn't bad, got a lot of softballs, did some semi-entertaining/really odd voice interpretations.
Breasts are not in his future.
GULC 2L -- stay off my handle.
Commenters: Back off. This man is a GULC 1L legend, in a good way.
If you must snark, and I'm sure you must, then snark the rest of the 1L class for finding him a legend, in a good way.
Scalia Fanboy = legendary douche
11:13 -- Why would it even make *sense* for a firm to prefer to use the term "Christmas" rather than "Holidays," when it knows that the card will go to a lot of people who don't celebrate Christmas? Doesn't it make practical and economic sense to include as many people as possible?
When I was at GULC, Scalia came to speak to my Soverign Immunity seminar, which was co-taught by a Federal Circuit Judge. I think the Judge and the Justice played golf together or something. In any event, I really had to hold my tongue not to burst out after Scalia called substantive due process "a crock."
I love Scalia, but anyone who has him - or any SCOTUS justice - sign their laptop is a total tool.
I guess no one here has ever heard of Timberland?????
Is Scalia still there or has he left the premises?
11:29 -- it was yesterday.
GULC Alum--I'll be he really would have given a damn about your SDP thoughts, too.
Scalia is friends with Prof. Bloch and regularly speaks to her Con Law classes. I saw him when I was there - he was witty and hilarious.
Also, GULC is Asperger's central so don't expect much coolness.
Everyone criticizing the guy in this picture really is immature and has some self-confidence issues.
Yeah, I am actually (anonymously) jealous of this guy.
It's funny. Stop drinking the haterade. The level of discourse here (He's ugly! He's a virgin! TTT!) makes my heart hurt.
I am self-confident that GULC3L=dude in picture=ugly=POWERtool
Yeah, I am actually (anonymously) jealous of this guy.
Obviously the douche in the picture.
me winning isn't. you do
what exactly do you gain from heaping scorn on this fellow's head?
me winning isn't. you do
me winning isn't. you do
I wouldn't let this douche do me with Scalia's d!ck and Judge Kent pushing!
Well, I am ugly, but I'm not the dude in the picture. The dude in the picture is a very nice 1L, who is probably much happier and self-assured than all the haters posting here.
Guys in my high school used to attend lectures conducted by Supreme Court Justices all the time, it was no big deal.
way to eff up a perfectly good caddyshack line
if i was horribly disfigured and hideious, i'd be a scalia fanboy too.

anyone who likes scalia deserves these kinds of insults
