Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has been appointed as a professor at Harvard Law School, where he previously taught for more than a decade.
In a release, the school said 83-year-old Breyer’s appointment at the school as the Byrne Professor of Administrative Law and Process is “effective immediately.”
“The Byrne chair, which [Breyer] will now hold alongside Professor Todd Rakoff ’75, was previously held by Justice Felix Frankfurter LL.B. 1906 from 1924 until his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1939,” Harvard Law School announced.
Breyer, an appointee of Democratic President Bill Clinton, joined the Supreme Court in 1994. He retired from the court on June 30 after having served on the Supreme Court for almost 30 years. He was succeeded by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson….
