LAT honors Souter

LAT reporter David Savage, who covers the Supreme Court, reports today on Souter's speech yesterday before a gathering of roughly 300 lawyers and judges for the 3rd Circuit's annual conference.

Savage reports that "no one at the Supreme Court is said to work harder than Souter" and "he was known by his colleagues for carefully studying and weighing the record in each case. He has been less interested in applying broad principles to all cases than in finding the right result in each case."

If that smacks of editorializing it's because it is.
