Summary:The editors of the Harvard Law Review respectfully dedicate this issue to Justice Stephen G. Breyer.This past summer, Stephen G. Breyer retired from active service after nearly three decades as a member of the Supreme Court. He occupied a seat that has a lineage dating back to the 'Judiciary Act' of 1789. His predecessors were particularly prominent jurists. Some of them - Story, Holmes, Cardozo - could be shorthand for greatness on the bench. That lineage is a reminder that every judge stands on the shoulders of those who served before. But Justice Breyer also stands tall among them. He brought to the Court talents and perspective that harken back to past distinction and yet mark a path all his own.
