It is the dream of many a young attorney to appear in front of the Supreme Court of the United States and argue the most important legal cases of the day.
To achieve career success like that of, say, Carter Phillips, who has argued dozens of cases in front of the nine, is a lofty aspiration, to say the least.

Went to an open-bar law school party and puked in front of Justice Scalia. My legal career is now complete — I literally got judged by a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Can’t get any higher than that.

If any of our readers have any details about this apparently crazy party, please share them in the comments (but please, do not use any names, so that we may protect the innocent hung over).
