Another of the Chief Justice’s gifts to the Court was the gift of understanding — understanding of the relationship of law to the community around us. During a speech on June 8, 1995, at the graduation ceremony of the William J. Brennan Jr. American Inn of Court, he told the young lawyers:
Get to know as many people as you can possibly get to know — all kinds of people. Talk to them, eat with them, drink with them if you are so inclined. Just get to know as many people as there are. In that way you will understand more about people and more about life, more about things that people think about, and you will be a much more capable lawyer.
