Have you spent this entire picture-perfect weekend trapped inside, immersed in the minutiae of never-ending outlines and the stress of exams?

When it comes to Supreme Court Justices, which one gets the most laughs?

Just ask Professor Jay Wexler of Boston University. Nearly two years have passed since Professor Wexler’s first study appeared in the Green Bag.
