After reading about the slight debacle at the Supreme Court regarding Laurence Gold, I was struck by the one sentence in the article that stated that Court rules bar lawyers from identifying themselves in any detail. After doing a cursory search in the Supreme Court Rules, I was unable to spot the local rule that sets this out. Is it a local or federal rule? And if so, any one have a clue as to why it exists other than to prevent attorneys appearing before the court rattling off half their CV to impress someone? I just like knowing that Scalia got put off guard by an attorney who he thought might be an interloper.
