Nearing 50 Supreme Court arguments in, lawyer Lisa Blatt keeps winning

No woman has appeared more often before the Supreme Court than Lisa Blatt, who'll make her 50th argument this month. No lawyer, male or female, has done it with quite the same mix of humor, passion and style. And her win-loss record isn’t bad, either. It's 40 to six, with two cases yet to be decided. She elicits laughs and the occasional sharp response from the justices, who seem to enjoy Blatt’s presentations as much as they respect her legal acumen. Justice Samuel Alito recently told Blatt that she didn't need any help from the Supreme Court bench "by any means.” Blatt is joining a small group of lawyers who have made as many as 50 high court arguments.
