In Praise of Hostility: Antiauthoritarianism As Free Speech Principle (Interview) (Company Overview‪)‬

Kudos. Eight years after graduating as valedictorian of your law school, and having toiled as editor-in-chief of the law review, you have finally made it Big. A familiar name in The New York Times, you have helped establish a string of major precedents by winning one federal appeal after another for your venerable white shoe law firm, and for your fabulous accomplishments, the firm has made you the youngest partner in its one-hundred-year history. But complacent gratification was never your style. Eager to embrace challenges, you left the firm to work as a law professor and, within ten years, became an eminent constitutional law scholar at a name-brand school on the East Coast. Now, twenty-five years after graduating from law school, you find yourself in the most enviable position in the legal profession: Chief Justice of the United States.
