Deanne Maynard spoke to Supreme Court
Brief about U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer,
who is retiring at the end of the 2021-22 term after 27 years on
the High Court.
Deanne clerked for Justice Breyer in his first term, and
remembered him summarizing the Court's decision
in Allied Bruce-Terminix Cos. v. Dobson—one of
the cases he heard during his first week—which she said
highlighted his ability to laugh at himself.
"He summarized the Court's decision, but forgot to
mention that there were dissents," Deanne said. "Other
Justices whispered to him, 'the dissents, the dissents.' He
laughed and said, 'Sorry, I don't know how I forgot
that' and went on to announce those as well."
