About Stephen Breyer, Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Breyer
Stephen Gerald Breyer (/ˈbraɪər/; born August 15, 1938) is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1994, and known for his pragmatic approach to constitutional law, Breyer is generally associated with the more liberal side of the Court.
Breyer was born in San Francisco, the son of Anne A. (née Roberts) and Irving Gerald Breyer,[4] and raised in a middle-class Jewish family. Irving Breyer was legal counsel for the San Francisco Board of Education.[5] Both Breyer and his younger brother, Charles, who is a federal district judge, were Eagle Scouts of San Francisco's Troop 14.[6][7] In 1955, Breyer graduated from Lowell High School. At Lowell, he was a member of the Lowell Forensic Society and debated regularly in high school tournaments, including against future California governor Jerry Brown and future Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe.
Breyer received a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Stanford University, a Bachelor of Arts from Magdalen College at Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar, and a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) from Harvard Law School. He is also fluent in French.
In 1967, he married The Hon. Joanna Freda Hare, a psychologist and member of the British aristocracy (the youngest daughter of John Hare, 1st Viscount Blakenham). The Breyers have three adult children, Chloe (an Episcopal priest, and author of The Close), Nell, and Michael.
