When lawyers speak of "Stern and Gressman" as "the bible" on Supreme Court practice, this is the book to which they refer. I suspect lawyers will be calling it "Stern and Gressman" for decades to come, even though Stern's name has been dropped with publication of the ninth edition.
Robert L. Stern and Eugene Gressman coauthored the book's first edition more than half a century ago, in 1950, giving attorneys a handy guide to practice before the United States Supreme Court. Their manual was destined to become the definitive reference for Supreme Court practitioners.
Despite Stern's retirement and then death, at the age of 91 in January of 2000, Stern's name graced the book through its eighth edition, published in 2002. As a consequence, generations of lawyers came to know the manual as "Stern and Gressman." And for many years to come, senior lawyers with business before the Supreme Court will be directing junior partners and associates to "check it in Stern and Gressman."
