georgetown university law center in washington d.c. hosted the event. it is a little over an hour. >> welcome. thank you for coming today for our discussion of the book recently released by the university of michigan press on argument in the supreme court. i am going to moderate our discussion. this book, edited by tim johnson, is a unique volume. the editors have assembled a series of essays written by journalists who covered the supreme court. each focuses on oral argument and the case before the supreme court and offers lessons on the court and the role of oral arguments. the supreme court's to sit in making process is a uniquely closed process to the public. virtually all the court's deliberations occurred behind closed doors. one of the only objections to the secrecy is oral argument. when the court spend an hour in public discussion of the case. oral arguments present the unique window on the supreme court decisionmaking. the panelists have observed countless cases of oral argument, having had the unique opportunity to observe what the court does

cultural confidence and its impact on health care, i call your attention to harvard's program in georgetown. >> the definition of cultural competence is what? >> you can narrow it down to 2 things, respect for the person's culture? >> how do you measure that? >> measure it in how you treat a patient, how you interact with patients, how your staff interacts with patients, there are a number of sarah goods. one of the things we have to do is educate people in the role of culture. we have a large and growing student population in my part of the state, as well as the mexican population, there is no question that language, understanding the impact of the culture, making sure that simply writing a prescription or telling them what to do is going to have them follow through, that is not even upon the physician and health-care provider. to communicate in family structure in order to adhere -- >> isn't that true of low income whites as well? i know a physician who was running a clinic in a low income area, finding exactly the same problem. >> that is why i go back to understanding and respecting tho

i finished at georgetown while working out here. >> what was the first thing you did in politics? >> the lowest person on the totem pole for a campaign for bill ruckleshouse for the senate in our home state. he went on to renown in the nixon administration, and resigned in the saturday night massacre. >> you worked for him when he was the first head of the epa? >> no, just when he ran for office. i finished school and fell in with the boy-mayor of indianapolis, dick lugar, our distinguished senator. he was an idealistic and very active young mayor at a time when cities were at the forefront of american consciousness. he was making great transformations in my home town. i went to work for him a couple of summers, and he talked me into sticking around for a little while, namely 13 years. >> you just turned 60. how old were you when you started working for him? >> 20. >> and then what? after you worked for him as mayor, what was next? >> he got elected to the senate. he asked me to come along, and i did. i spent the next eight years organizing his affairs here. >> working for him in

host: our guest is a former adjoint professor of law at georgetown university.hat brings you to this issue of redistricting? guest: i was in the justice department for 21 years, in the voting rights section, the civil rights division. i looked at a lot of redistricting plans in that capacity when i was in the death -- when i was in the justice department. i left in 1994. i have done a lot of litigation in the area of redistricting and was retained to represent certain members of the congressional black caucus. whose tissues were struck down in the 1990's in wake of the supreme court decision. -- whose issues were struck dumb. then i was retained as general counsel by the national democratic party's redistricting party, impact 2000. host: is a more democratic or republican party? guest: it is split pretty evenly. republicans control more of legislatures and governorships in states where they had a monopoly. this time you see more split control. neighboring virginia is a good example where you have a democratic governor and senator and republican-controlled house.

we're sitting at a replica of the supreme court at the georgetown university law center where the dimensions are exactly as they are in the court with the lectern, the same distance from the justices in real life and it's incredibly close and i can imagine it's just a really nerve-wracking experience for the lawyers. i always feel for them and i'm surprised more of them haven't fainted as has happened in history. but the case i picked to write about in a way is a lot less known than the others you just heard about but it is in a way the exact opposite, flip side of the coin from dahlia's case 'cause in this case, there is a rookie lawyer, a lawyer who had never argued before the supreme court before, but he ended up making a spectacularly unsuccessful argument. he like michael was totally passionate about the facts and the background of the case but it just fell flat and it was too passionate and it makes another point about the supreme court. many cases, when they get to the supreme court, are much more abstract level than the trial court and the lawyer court levels. in the trial court the
