Breyer awarded medal by WJA

Law360 has Justice Breyer at the UN: 'Today We Are Fighting A Great War'

•  Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer accepted a medal of honor from the World Jurist Association on Thursday, giving an acceptance speech at United Nations headquarters that echoed the uncertainties of the world today.
• It's not that the rule of law has been lost, Justice Breyer [said], but rather that the population has grown, the climate crisis looms and there's a lot of fear.
• Justice Breyer closed by commenting on his upcoming book. He said writing a book is "an awful experience," but that he wanted to make an argument against textualism or interpreting statutes by emphasizing the specific language of the Constitution, an approach that is "growing in popularity" right now.
