Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his former colleague in the Solicitor General’s office, attorney Carter Phillips, talked about Supreme Court advocacy and deliberation. The conversation covered both sides of the bench with Justice Alito discussing what expectations he has of the arguments before him, and Carter Phillips talking about his strategy when presenting case to the Court.
