Some folks in the Solicitor General's office think that you best prepare for oral argument by thinking of answers to the twenty possible questions the judges might ask. For economics workshops, it turns out, you need to come up with a few - but not many - more responses. My colleague Justin Wolfers reminds us of George Stigler's classic articulation of the thirty-two possible questions in an economics workshop. I'm trying to remember the last time I didn't ask "What empirical finding would contradict your theory?," number 20 on Stigler's index.
Josh Wright has his own take here.
