The Quill of the People


One of the Supreme Court’s most enduring traditions is the provision of goose quill pens for counsel arguing before the Supreme Court. Placing quills on the counsel tables likely started in the Court’s earliest days as a practical matter to enable the attorneys to take notes. Despite the introduction of steel nib pens in the mid-19th century, the Court continued the quill tradition and they eventually became a memento of one’s argument before the Court. The practice was temporarily halted during World War II, when the Court’s British supplier could no longer provide pens and no other maker could be found. In April 1954, when the Court was able to begin providing them again, the occasion merited a press release from the Court’s Press Office. This tradition continues today, with the Marshal’s Office placing two sets of pens for each arguing attorney on the counsel tables before oral arguments.
