I have been told that the lecterns used by lawyers appearing before the U.S. Supreme Court have, on the lectern, an old fashion ink well and a quill pen and that after arguement before the court the lawyer is allowed to take (is given) the pen -- an elegant white feather Quill Pen -- as a souvenir of the occasion.
Anyone know if this is true?
