[PAST EVENT] Dunn Speaker Tom Goldstein
February 11, 2015
12:50pm - 1:50pm
Dunn Speaker Tom Goldstein
Lunch provided.
Tom Goldstein is an appellate advocate, best known as one of the nation's most experienced Supreme Court practitioners. He has served as counsel to the petitioner or respondent in roughly 10% of all of the Court's merits cases for the past 15 years (approximately 100 in total), personally arguing 34. He has been counsel on more successful petitions for certiorari over the past decade than any other lawyer in private practice.
In addition to practicing law, Tom has taught Supreme Court Litigation at Harvard Law School since 2004, and previously taught the same subject at Stanford Law School for nearly a decade. Tom is also the co-founder and publisher of SCOTUSblog, a web-site devoted to comprehensive coverage of the Court, which is the only weblog ever to receive the Peabody Award.
Tom has received a variety of recognitions for his practice before the Supreme Court and for his appellate advocacy generally. For example, in 2010, the National Law Journal named him one of the nation's 40 most influential lawyers of the decade. The same publication included him in both of its most recent lists (2006 and 2013) of the nation's 100 most influential attorneys. Legal Times named him one of the "90 Greatest Washington Lawyers of the Last 30 Years." GQ named him one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington, D.C.
