I am set to be sworn in to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court
and attend a reception afterwards.  I want to do my "homework" before
I go to minimize the chances of doing something to humiliate myself. 
I would like the following:  A current photograph of the Justices.  A
brief biography of each Judge (ideally with a brief summary of his/her
position on major issues to use as talking points), a diagram of the
seating in the courtroom and, if available a description from someone
who has previously been sworn in describing the process.

Talk to the people orgainizing the reception ?
