If it’s true, then our country is burnt toast.
I’ve heard before that certain law firms argue cases in front of the Supreme Court, but I did not know that SCOTUS justices exclusively accepts them only as their court jesters.
It’s surely not written in stone. It’s probably an informal and unwritten rule because of SCOTUS’s familiarity of local law firms. It’s certainly not a good practice. And I doubt SCOTUS would drop cases just for a particularly group of lawyers they are comfortable with because they are not presenting the arguments, especially the cases that could profoundly effect the nation.
