Duquesne Law Review

Abstract

The debate about whether great people or great events primarily shape history is as old as the study of history itself. The truth seems to be somewhere in the middle: the right people presented with the right circumstances can achieve exceptional success. Such is the story of Chief Justice Baer's leadership in commemorating the tricentennial anniversary of his beloved Supreme Court. Fortuity made him the Chief Justice when the Court reached its three hundredth year in 2022, but he seized the opportunity and orchestrated a remarkable tribute to the Court's even more remarkable history.
