That's it, UT. good sleuthing! It really is a privilege for me, not just to observe an argument, but one on a case that I've been a part of as it ascended the court system. Out of 7000 cases that apply, only about 100+ get chosen by the Court to be heard. This case involves 2 competing statutes, and a split in the circuit courts on how to treat them.
It's just me and my boss on this one, and I had to figure out how to get the briefs printed, familiarize myself with the SCt rules, do all the citation and authorities work myself.
Anyone can observe when the Court is in session--there's a "3 minute" line. To observe a whole argument, there's a limited amount of space available and it's hard to get a seat. Arguing counsel have 6 reserved seats available.
