I would like to welcome you to the Supreme Court Institute Spring book fair. When i was a kid i looked forward to my School Book Fair and now i am lapy in the position i get to go to the law school one. Here i want to thank Anthony Franze especially for coming up with the idea and recruiting this wonderful panel on authors. Really looking forward to hearing about books i will actually want to read.
