Morning Session, 10 to noon:

At 10, Ralph will talk to us for 15 minutes, about how he came to found a Litigation Group within Public Citizen, how he settled on  Alan, and how he chose to let Alan steer the Group's course instead of micromanaging its caseload.
 

Then, each of the directors — Alan, David, Brian and Allison — will discuss the challenges and changes that the group has faced during their time.  Our current SCAP fellow will interview Alan about the beginnings of the Supreme Court Assistance Project.

Box Lunch at about noon
