Why Don't We All Just Wear Robes?, Ruthann Robson
Why Don't We All Just Wear Robes?, Ruthann Robson
Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development
(Excerpt)
Lawyers and law professors select our professional outfits each day, often experiencing a mix of consternation and gratification. The dread springs from our failures: to know what constitutes the “right look;” to be able to achieve that “right look;” to anticipate what the day will bring; to have prepared by doing the laundry or other tasks.

This paper examines the oral dissents of Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg from the year 2000 to the times of their respective deaths.
