I first heard of John Roberts Jr. when he was nominated to the United States Supreme Court as Chief Justice.  I watched the coverage on C-SPAN which replayed a seminar that he gave to a group of law students on advocacy.  I was quite impressed – but not as impressed as I was after reading this article from The American Lawyer magazine.  Appellate advocates have much to learn from the Chief Justice of the United States: http://www.americanlawyer.com/PubArticleTAL.jsp?id=1202620317367.
