First Paragraph

I first met Antonin Scalia when he served on the faculty of the University of Chicago's School of Law. He was in Washington, D.C. to deliver a lecture on an issue generating controversy among scholars of administrative law, a field in which then-Professor Scalia was a widely recognized leader. I disagreed, in considerable part, with the substance of his presentation, but his acumen, affability, and high spirits captivated me.
