Today at the Court

Fun fact: A female lawyer showed up to sit in the bar section wearing a stylish black sleeveless dress. It was lovely, but the bar section requires jackets, so she had to borrow one from a male friend in the public gallery.

Not-so-fun fact: Assistant to the Solicitor General Rachel Kovner wasn’t simply the only woman (out of six lawyers) to argue today, but she is slated to be the only woman to argue during the Court’s October sitting.
