Petitioning and Opposing Certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court ( January 1999 )
You have just been handed an unexpected defeat in the federal court of appeals or state supreme court. Your client calls, complaining that the appellate ruling is legally insupportable and totally unjust. She wants relief; she wants you to take the case to the United States Supreme Court. You picture yourself arguing before the Justices and your name appearing in the U.S. Reports. You ponder where on your office wall to hang, suitably framed, the feather quill pen given to all counsel who argue before the Court.
