On November 2, 1982, they let me argue a case before the United States Supreme Court! I was seeking to limit Los Angeles Police Department use of deadly "chokeholds." If you would like to hear the argument, you will need RealPlayer 8 which can be downloaded for free. There is a slight delay after the case is called, then you will hear argument by Los Angeles Deputy City Attorney Fred Merkin (email:fmerkin@atty.lacity.org) as he is questioned closely by Justices Thurgood Marshall, Brennan, Rehnquist, et al. My argument follows, where I get thoroughly chewed out by Justice Marshall. Listen to The Argument and View Transcript I lost as reported at Lyons v. City of Los Angeles, 461 U.S. 95, 103 SCt 1660, 75 L.Ed.2d 675 (1983)
