Fascinating perspective on a SCOTUS justice from a time when political lines were more blurry by today's standards. Steps to argue before the Supreme Court as a Solicitor General:
1. Convince them a problem exists.
2. Convince them a potential change is not actually so radical.
3. Focus on the facts of the case and informing justices how they might go about resolving the issues.
4. Avoid rhetoric/emotion flourishes

Jackson's commitment to the rule of law during Nuremberg is fascinating. Also, his strategy of broad political questions to "flatter" Goering in order to trick him into giving more incriminating answers in face of Goering's evasive and discursive answers to questioning.
