In 1992, I saw Scalia in person preside over a three-judge panel (including two other federal district judges) at Harvard - at the Ames Moot Court, the famous moot (fake) court for the very best two teams of third-year law students.<p>He did an excellent job over the two day proceedings. 
It was fascinating to watch in person.<p>In a parallel event in the evening, I watched Scalia take questions in an open air pavilion lawn (with no security whatsoever, just an open event on campus).  At one point an audience member asked him, &quot;What&#x27;s the most difficult area of law for you personally to judge?&quot;<p>After seriously furrowing his brow and mind, he finally and sincerely proffered up ... &quot;Indian (Native American) law&quot;.<p>My take on his answer - he found that area of law truly difficult as a strict constructionist.
