Abstract

It was an honor and a privilege working for Chief Justice Max Baer, whom I and most others in our chambers referred to as "the Judge." As a jurist, the Judge came to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania from the family court, and he brought with him an immediate and heartfelt sense of how the judicial system affects the vulnerable, particularly children. The Judge was the ever-dedicated public servant who thought it important not only to serve the people, but to give back by engaging with students and young lawyers to help shape the next generation of litigants and judges. More importantly, though, he was a friend and a mentor to me and the many clerks who passed through our chambers. In this article, I hope to share a more intimate insight into his daily practices in our chambers as well as his broader judicial philosophy.
