Last night, in the beautiful D.C. offices of Arnold & Porter, Above the Law held its second annual Supreme Court round-up event. I discussed October Term 2014 with two of the most distinguished advocates practicing before the Court today, Lisa Blatt of Arnold & Porter and Tom Goldstein of Goldstein & Russell (and SCOTUSblog fame too). Although this Term is not the most thrilling Term ever — which could change, based on the cases that get granted certiorari over the next few weeks — Blatt and Goldstein produced a sparkling conversation full of ample insight and laughter.
Thanks to Lisa Blatt and to Tom Goldstein for participating, to our readers for attending, to Arnold & Porter for hosting, and to Special Counsel eQ for sponsoring. Keep reading to check out photos….
