Justice Stephen G. Breyer - 2008 Recipient

Since its inception 33 years ago, the Fordham Stein Prize has become the honor roll of distinguished Americans whose dignified and dutiful careers in the law persuasively demonstrate the pervasive and positive contributions of the legal profession to American society.

Administered by Fordham University School of Law's Louis Stein Center for Law and Ethics, a leading resource for the discussion and study of ethical issues confronting the legal profession, the Fordham Stein Prize honors individuals whose work exemplifies outstanding standards of professional conduct, promotes the advancement of justice, and brings credit to the profession by emphasizing in the public mind the contributions of lawyers to our society and to our democratic system of government.

The Fordham Stein Prize is formally presented every autumn. For more information: fordhamsteinprize@law.fordham.edu
