Made a Mistake? Don’t Worry Justice Scalia Makes Them Too.

Ever make a “cringeworthy blunder” or “hugely embarrassing” mistake in class or on a brief?  Well, while you should certainly strive not to, it may make you feel better to know that Justice Anton Scalia of the US Supreme Court has done the same.

A recent article in the ABA Journal gives more details of the error in Scalia’s dissent to a U.S. Supreme Court decision siding with the Environmental Protection Agency in its defense of the cross-state air pollution rule. The Supreme Court issued a new version without the error.   The mistake was noticed by several law professors.
