Three Chief Justices Share Stage At Two Night Events
On one night last week Chief Justice Warren E Burger spoke at Columbia for Stone’s 100th birth anniversary while Chief Justice Earl Warren addressed the Jewish Theological Seminary awards dinner nearby. Burger warned the Supreme Court faces heavy overload with 247 pending items as docketed cases rose from 1448 in 1945 to 4533 this year and discussed possible reforms such as an intermediate Court of Appeals. Warren urged studies on ethics and the good society, advocating the seminary lead in cross disciplinary dialogue among science philosophy and religion.
