Can any lawyer argue a case before the u.s. supreme court? |
 |
Almost every American lawyer can apply for admission to the Bar of the Supreme Court of the United States and get admitted. That carries with it the right to argue cases before the Supreme Court. However we don’t advocate using just "any lawyer" or much less, trying to represent yourself at that level. Practice before the Supreme Court of the United States is very highly specialized and not for the uninitiated apprentice.
One of the dangers in appeals to the Supreme Court is that a lawyer whose Petition for Certiorari is granted often grabs the "chance of a lifetime" to argue the case. (Since so few cases are heard by the Supreme Court it is considered very prestigious for a lawyer to have argued a case there.) However, as in most other aspects of legal practice, experience often carries the day. |
