ABSTRACT:

The Supreme Court of the United States may be skeptical about the emotional capacity of an incorporated entity, but the Green Bag has no doubts about its own passion for Lego. This sentiment has manifested itself only rarely and recently in print, but it has long been deeply felt. Our focus in this Almanac on the 1887 Constitutional Centennial in Philadelphia provides a nice opportunity to again express our love of Lego, because the Supreme Court-related Centennial festivities provide an obvious choice for a new plastic-brick structure.
