The club for lawyers who, like President Abraham Lincoln and Chief Justice John Marshall, have argued one case in the Supreme Court and lost that case.

The Lincoln-Marshall Society offers its congratulations and condolences to members inducted during OT2022. These lawyers all argued in the Supreme Court for the first time during the last Term and wound up on the losing side.
