Answer to Question 1

The ideal answer should:
a. Define the position of Solicitor General as the primary advocate for the federal government before the Supreme Court.
b. Explain the various responsibilities of the Solicitor General, including representing the federal government, determining whether an appeal is in order, filing amicus curiae briefs, formulating legal strategy, and arguing cases before the Supreme Court.
c. Demonstrate that in spite of the fact that the office is supposed to be independent, Solicitors General almost always share commitments with the president, in part because they serve at the pleasure of the president and in part because they are responsible for presenting the federal government's viewpoints generally, and the president's views particularly, before the Court
d. Discuss the concept of the Tenth Justice which views Solicitors General as equally beholden to the Supreme Court and the president, drawing on comments of various Solicitors General that challenge that view by describing the role of the Solicitor General as promoting and protecting the president's interests within the judiciary.
