U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer to be honored with NYSBA's highest award
Briefly

"Justice Breyer's loyalty is to the rule of law," said NYSBA President Domenick Napoletano. He emphasized Breyer's commitment to impartiality, prioritizing the legal implications of court rulings over political labels, demonstrating a dedication to how these decisions affect everyday Americans.
Napoletano mentioned that 'In a nation dominated by partisan politics, he argued against being labeled as a liberal or a conservative.' Breyer's focus was always on the real-world consequences of the court's decisions for ordinary people, rather than political ideologies.
"There is no higher calling than that, and it is why he so richly deserves the Gold Medal," Napoletano said. He highlighted Breyer's unwavering commitment to justice and the rule of law throughout his nearly three decades on the Supreme Court.
Napoletano expressed admiration for Breyer's ongoing contributions at 86 years old, stating, "I marvel at the ways Justice Breyer has served this country and the rule of law... he's still giving back by hearing cases and writing books."
