Political Quotes

“I recently had the great pleasure of attending the Delaware State Bar Association's 70th anniversary celebration. The event was also a tribute to two of my State's most distinguished jurists, both of whom mark in 1994 25 years of service on the bench. The dual commemoration of their personal tenures and the Bar Association's anniversary could not have been more appropriate, in my view, because U.S. District Court Judge James L. Latchum and Delaware Superior Court Judge Vincent A. Bifferato, Sr., have had a truly defining influence on their respective courts and on the Delaware legal community. There are not many States, I would guess, where two such long-serving and respected judges would be known as Jimmy and Biff, but that is our way in Delaware, where not only size but spirit favors familiarity. So the Bar Association event was not just a tribute to great guardians of the law, to valued and admired mentors; it was also a tribute to good colleagues and good neighbors.”
