At some point, you'd think there was something Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh did not do this off-season. Somewhere he did not go.

You might be wrong.

Another of his adventures appeared this afternoon in the Wall Street Journal, which reported that Harbaugh met with five Supreme Court justices in their chambers in April.

Wonder why Michigan's spring practices ended earlier than nearly everyone else's? Apparently, Harbaugh had somewhere to be.

It was a tour that every law student dreams about. Harbaugh shook hands with Justice Anthony Kennedy. He snagged a picture with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. "Very dynamic speaker," Harbaugh said in an interview last week.

He gave Justice Elena Kagan his heavily underlined book about legendary Alabama coach Bear Bryant. She then asked him to sign it. Harbaugh also sat down in the office of Chief Justice John Roberts. "He showed me the Declaration of Independence written in stone," he said. "Very memorable."

Harbaugh also met with Nebraska fan Clarence Thomas and tried to sway him to U-M.

As much as he liked the trip, he is hoping to replace one of the justices with his beloved Judge Judy. In the spring, he told USA TODAY that he would like to see her as a member of SCOTUS.

After an off-season of connecting with entertainers on Twitter -- Nicki Minaj this week, Big Sean earlier -- and traveling to Paris with his wife and Peru by himself to Arizona to coach first base for the Oakland A's and Alabama, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, California and Indiana during his Summer Swarm camp tour, Harbaugh found time to step into the halls of justice.

Discipline at U-M might never be the same
