An Actual SCOTUS Nightmare

The author recounts a recurring nightmare involving appearing before the U.S. Supreme Court as co-counsel in a case, only to find himself completely unprepared. In the dream, the lead counsel steps down, leaving the author to argue the case despite having no knowledge of the case name, client, or arguments. The author manages to avoid disaster by referencing their brief, though they remain mortified afterward. This dream is part of a series of law-related nightmares the author has experienced, including scenarios involving justices yelling at them, receiving cease-and-desist orders, and other surreal legal encounters.
