A US law school has been renamed in honour of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a Catholic, who died earlier this year.
At a ceremony held last night, George Mason University, in Virginia, dedicated its law school as the Antonin Scalia Law School. Six fellow justices attended the event, including Justice Elena Kagan, who paid tribute to Scalia’s character and professional brilliance.
Scalia, seen as the leading conservative among the justices, was also renowned for his good humour and friendliness. Kagan praised “his brilliance, his wit, his good cheer, and, well, let’s say his confidence in the manifest rightness of all his opinions”.
