We all know electronic musicians can’t resist resuscitating a classic. But what about Supreme Court Justices?

Bob Dylan is one of the most oft-quoted artists when it comes to legal documents. Even Antonin Scalia had a soft spot for the revered lyricist. According to law professor Alex B. Long, that’s because Dylan has a knack for getting to the point.
