The Volokh Conspiracy - Who Was The Best Supreme Court Advocate of The Last 30 Years?:

A few weeks ago, the Georgetown Supreme Court Institute held a reception for Justice John Paul Stevens in honor of his completion of 30 Terms as a Supreme Court Justice. A crowd of Supreme Court litigators, former JPS clerks, and others (like me) attended, and Justice Stevens gave some gracious and amusing remarks. One tidbit that might be of interest to VC readers was Stevens' opinion of the best Supreme Court advocate he has seen in his 30 years at the Court.

Who do you think is the best Supreme Court advocate in the last 30 years, at least according to Justice Stevens?

a) Seth Waxman
b) John Roberts
c) Laurence Tribe
d) Robert Bork
e) Walter Dellinger
