Standing in the Supreme Court courtyard with Justice Scalia after our discussion

November 18-Students on the CMC-Washington Semester program this fall were lucky enough to join Justice Scalia in the Supreme Court for a candid discussion. The class prepared themselves with information on Justice Scalia's past opinions and strong ideas. With this preparation, students were ask questions that warranted answers straight from the source. No where else but DC would students have such a special opportunity.

Known for his frank answers and strong will Justice Scalia did not hold back on answering questions about campaign finance reform, the affect of the justices on national issues, and many other topics. Students came well prepared with questions that, while not softball questions, did not probe too far into specific cases so the Justice was able answer freely. Overall the class had a rewarding experience with Justice Scalia, he even permitted a photo for posterity.
