Constitutional Law

Banging head against wall

From Elena Kagan's questionaire:

"d. List, by case name, all cases in courts of record, including cases before
administrative law judges, you tried to verdict, judgment, or final decision (rather
than settled),....

i. What percentage of these trials were:
1. jury;
2. non-jury.

I have never tried a case to verdict or judgment."

This is a person who has been a tenured law prof for decades, head of Harvard Law School, and now is up for the US Supreme Court. NEVER TRIED A CASE!!!! Not once. Not small claims, not a DUI, nothing.
