Williams & Connolly Partner Lisa Blatt was featured in The Washington Post article “Nearing 50 Supreme Court arguments in, lawyer Lisa Blatt keeps winning.” Recognizing that “[n]o woman has appeared more often before the Supreme Court than [Lisa],” the article anticipates her 50th argument before the Court later this month and discusses her unique argument style as well as some major cases over her career. Lisa told the Post: “Oral argument is like truth serum. Under the stress of their questioning, you can’t become someone you aren’t. I do think I am very direct but at bottom, my style reflects the fact that I want to win and the Court to step into the shoes of the party I am representing.”
Lisa Blatt serves as Chair of Williams & Connolly’s Supreme Court and Appellate practice and has argued 49 cases before the United States Supreme Court with a nearly 90% win rate in cases decided.*
