How do I visit the supreme court for oral arguments in april - guarunteed seats.
> I'm looking to assure a place at oral arguments for the US Supreme
Court in DC for the week of April 11 or 18th.
>I have contacted the court and was told to write the "marshall" with
why I want to see a particular case- I don't have a good reason.  I'm
just curious.
> Can I contact my senator, concoct a better story for a case, or use
craigs list, or some other broker service?
What is the best way to get seats?

thanks,

Finally,- nice to answer but not necessary-- any advice on which cases
will be the most controversial that week.

Curiousbay-ga:

It seems what you really might need is a summarization of the key
Constitutional issues at stake in the cases that will be argued in
your available time frame. That information may spark a solid interest
for you in a particular case -- which you could then aver in writing
to the Marshall. I will check into that for you; as well as the
possibility that a sincere general interest in the Court's proceeding
might suffice for the interest the contact requires. I will go ahead,
if you find that is an acceptable approach.

Regards,
