Id. (for a simple example, see the Clerk's Comment to Supreme
Court Rule 5.5. Supreme Court Rule 5.5 now states
that Supreme Court Bar applicants should make
their admission fee payments payable to the
U.S. Supreme Court. The Clerk's Comment to Rule
5.5 indicates that the current Rule 5.5 deletes
the word "Marshall," and the Clerk's
Comment explains why this was done. Prior to
the enactment of the current Rule, the Clerk's
Comment states, some applicants would erroneously
mail their applications to the Marshall, apparently
because the check was made out to the Marshall).
