Opera, like great litigation, involves powerful storytelling, which evokes a variety of audience emotions.  U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke about her love of both mediums at the ABA Annual Meeting in Chicago Aug. 2-5, 2012, in a CLE program titled, "Arias of Law: The Rule of Law at Work in Opera and the Supreme Court."  The panel, moderated by Chicago lawyer Craig Martin and sponsored by the ABA Section of Litigation, also included U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli and Anthony Freud, general director of Chicago's Lyric Opera.  Afterward, Ginsburg sat down with the ABA Journal to chat about operas she listens to at work, music she recommends to law clerks and operas featuring legal dramas. She also talks about the time she was serenaded by Plácido Domingo.  Stephanie Francis Ward  See video of the interview and the serenade by Domingo at:  http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/justice_ginsburg_talks_about_arias_and_the_law/  See also:  http://www.npr.org/blogs/deceptivecadence/2012/08/07/158382779/is-there-a-lawyer-in-the-opera-house 

The books of Dr. Seuss, the pen name of Theodor Geisel, depend on what Donald Pease, a professor of English literature at Dartmouth, refers to in his biography of Geisel as “plausible nonsense.”  “Children will grant you any premise, but after that—you’ve got to stay on the same key,” Geisel told one interviewer.  “What I have tried to do is use implausible facts to create a plausible world.”  Justice Clarence Thomas said that back in Savannah in 1955, listening to librarians reading from Dr. Seuss gave him an affinity for learning.  Read opinions on how his books may relate to current events including two cases under Supreme Court consideration at:

Five engineers who helped create the Internet were on Mar. 18 awarded a $1.5 million prize which British organisers hope will come to be seen as equivalent to a Nobel prize for engineering.  Robert Kahn, Vinton Cerf and Marc Andreessen of the United States will share the first ever £1 million (1.2 million euro) Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering with Louis Pouzin of France and Tim Berners-Lee of Britain.  "The emergence of the Internet and the web involved many teams of people all over the world," said Alec Broers, chair of the judging panel.  "However, these five visionary engineers, never before honoured together as a group, led the key developments that shaped the Internet and web as a coherent system and brought them into public use."  Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, who gives her name to the prize, will present the award to the winners in a formal ceremony in London in June.  Organisers said Kahn, Cerf and Pouzin had made "seminal" contributions to the design and protocols that make up the fundamental architecture of the Internet.  Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, the information-sharing system built on top of the Internet which allows us to use it in the way we do today.  Andreessen, meanwhile, created the first widely-used web browser, Mosaic.
