Meet the Justices
Jeremy, C.J.
JEREMY, C.J., serves as Chief Justice of the Supreme Cart.
When still a wee lad, a waiter at a château gave Jeremy, C.J., a taste of red wine; he responded, “I’ve had better.” He explained to acquaintances that he disliked mushrooms, except for truffles. (An acquaintance had informed him mushrooms were gross. Ever gullible, he took this as truth.) And when asked after his favorite food replied, matter-of-factly, “pâté.”
Today, Jeremy, C.J., readily admits his weakness for duck and lamb and much prefers pie to cake. He still dislikes mushrooms, save for the odd morel or tree mushroom. (He says he “doesn’t mind” truffles.)
Unlike his colleague, Jeremy, C.J., admires arcane English and verbosity. The passive voice is admired by him.
Cattleya, J.
CATTLEYA, J., serves as both Associate Justice and Reporter of Decisions.
At age four, Cattleya, J., discovered her first favorite meal: white sticky rice with ketchup. Even as a child, she understood that such a dish might be frowned upon in certain circles, so she lowered her voice to a whisper whenever she asked her mother to make it.
Cattleya, J., and her tastes have come a long, long way. She now favors (artificially) orange-colored foods, particularly mac & cheese, Cheez-Its, and Cheetos. She also tries to pair ice cream, or alternatively a milkshake, with every meal.
Other than her own Reports, Cattleya, J., enjoys reading Plain English for Lawyers (which is always right) and The Bluebook (which is only right when it’s not wrong).
