Justice Breyer calls Supreme Court in his clerking time a 'court with a mission'
In a speech to law students at George Washington University on Tuesday, he recounted his years with the court, dating back to his time as a clerk to Justice Arthur Goldberg in the 1960s. That’s when the justices were figuring out how to force compliance with their 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling that called racial segregation unconstitutional.In recent years, the court hasn’t been “as single-minded in its approach,” he said.
Justice Breyer served on the Supreme Court for nearly three decades. He retired last year and was replaced by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman on the court and a former Breyer clerk.
