    Supreme Court Justices Interviewed

         MSTA Legal Counsel Gail McCray put me on to a website where videotaped interviews of U.S. Supreme Court Justices can be found.  Chatting with Gail, I learned the justices very rarely make public comments, so this is quite a unique scenario.  Specifically, eight of nine justices speak to the issues of legal writing and advocacy.  Teaching a law and justice class?  This may be good material for you.  The videos may be used freely for educational purposes.

         I loved my law and justice class in twelfth grade.  Do they teach that class anywhere anymore?  We even got to tour a prison.  Talk about "scared straight"!  It was one of the most frightening and enlightening experiences of my life. . .
