"A year and two weeks ago the Washington Legal Foundation was prescient enough to hold a seminar in this room on three then-pending antitrust cert petitions, none of which had been granted: Credit Suisse v. Billing, Bell Atlantic v. Twombly, and Weyerhaeuser v. Ross-Simmons Lumber Company. A year and two weeks later all three have been granted—all three have been reversed by votes of 9-0, 7-1 and 7-2 ruling in favor of the defendant in each case."

Foundation, who regularly file amicus briefs at the
certiorari stage. Those briefs play a vital role in
demonstrating to the Justices and their law clerks, who
have little experience in commercial matters, that
questions presented by cert. petitions have widespread

I find them invaluable, both for those people who have the opportunity to attend and those
who watch them on the web, as a vehicle to bring people together interested in the cases
before the Supreme Court. WLF does a wonderful job in bringing people together with
competing views to have an honest and open debate rather than one that is one-sided.
WLF is a strong advocate of free enterprise but wants the open debates that are necessary
for decision makers to come to the right conclusions."
