T.J.O.T.E.

Posted by Trevor on June 18th, 2007 toOral Arguments

Reports from the Oral Argument in Shown v. Shown, which was argued last Thursday morning, are that one of the attorneys arguing the case referred to Justice Will T. Scott as “the Justice on the end.” Given that of the Justices who currently occupy the SCOKY bench, Justice Scott has the second-longest tenure, one could interpret this as an indication that the SCOKY Justices have a fairly low profile, even among the attorneys actually arguing cases before them. (More likely, however, the attorney’s inability to come up with Justice Scott’s name on the spot likely has more to do with the pressure and stress of that situation). In any event, however, those of us who take advantage of the text-messaging capabilities of our cell phones to communicate about the SCOKY [a group that looks suspiciously like the high school chess club], are currently referring to Justice Scott as “TJOTE,” which stands, of course, for “the Justice on the end.”
