Justice comes to town

April 24, 2008

Hey, Justice Antonin Scalia! You’ve just finished hearing arguments for the term on the Supreme Court! What are you going to do next?

“I’m going to Baltimore!”

The University of Baltimore School of Law, to be precise. Scalia, slated to appear on 60 Minutes on Sunday and co-author of a book that comes out on Monday, is in town today for a session with UB Law students, a luncheon, a meet-and-greet with various faculty members and a public session across the street from the school at the Lyric Opera House.

Possibly hoping to avoid a repeat of 2004’s “Hattiesburg Incident,” in which federal marshals appropriated and destroyed two reporters’ tapes at a high school appearance (for which Scalia later apologized), UB Law’s spokesman was quite clear in issuing an invitation to the Lyric event. Reporters may bring a notebook, pencil and tape-recording device “for reporting purposes only — not for broadcast.”

Scalia’s book, co-authored with Bryan Garner of LawProse Inc., is called “Making Your Case: The art of persuading judges.”  It stems from interviews Garner did with eight of the nine justices between 2006 and 2007, which Garner has put up on his Web site.
