HSBA President Jeffrey H.K. Sia and Justice Breyer.

 U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, who joined the William S. Richardson School of Law in February as a Jurist-in-Residence, addressed the HSBA membership and the Judiciary February 4 on the topic of “Judicial Independence."

He spoke candidly and comfortably with 100 members of the Bar and Judiciary about the meaning and importance of judicial independence in our society, pointing out how far our democratic institutions have come--transformed over time from a society which once needed to enforce judicial decisions with military strength to one which accepts and adheres to the rule of law and role of the judiciary.
