It was, as moderator Jeffrey Bleich, a partner at Munger, Tolles & Olson, later put it, “the ultimate nerd fest”: a panel of attorneys discussing the future of business cases under a U.S. Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice John Roberts.

The panel, which spoke before the Association of Business Trial Lawyers Wednesday evening, included former Solicitor General Kenneth Starr, Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Falk & Rabkin partner Jerome Falk Jr., and Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan.
