Each summer, the junior class visits Justice Clarence Thomas at the Supreme Court for an in-depth discussion of the workings of the Court, judicial philosophy, and as many other issues as the scholars desire. The senior class meets with one of the other Justices. This summer, that other Justice was the Chief Justice of the United States, John G. Roberts, Jr. The seniors began their return visit to the Supreme Court with a private tour of the building. They sat in on a public lecture. And they concluded their visit with a private session with the Chief Justice, who made brief remarks and fielded numerous questions from the scholars. These questions regarded the culture of the Court, the Chief Justice’s administrative duties over the federal judicial system, his role in tiebreaking, and numerous other matters.
