Justice Stevens takes his bow.

Here's a great opinion piece about him from the National Law Journal, written by Prof. Rodger Citron.

The Last Common Law Justice? I certainly hope not.

"This approach is consistent with the common law notion that the law develops on a case-by-case basis over time. Furthermore, although Stevens does not shy away from exercising judicial power, he nevertheless employs it in moderation, deferring to other legal decision-makers where appropriate."
