...exactly does one become a Supreme Court justice? On May 27, the Harvard Class of 2010 will find out, as this year’s commencement speaker is former Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter ’61.

Lawyers, who are never slow to react, are swarming. One class action alleges that jammed accelerators on Toyotas have caused 16 deaths and 243 injuries. Customers who once wouldn't have thought about looking at another brand now have reason...
