Speaking of Oral Argument . . .

Posted on January 19, 2007 by D. Todd Smith
Law.com has a piece today about the importance of getting appellate justices' names right at oral argument.  As an extreme illustration, the article cites the argument in Bush v. Gore, in which the attorney arguing for the Florida Secretary of State called four U.S. Supreme Court justices by the wrong name.  The author quotes California Supreme Court Clerk Frederick Ohlrich as comparing that gaffe to Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak—a record that "will likely never be broken."
