Supreme Court Justice Breyer talks art – in French
BOSTON — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has given a talk — entirely in French — about the artistry of courtroom sketches.
Breyer spoke in French on Monday during the hour-long forum at the French Cultural Center in Boston.
The event was a dialogue with artist Noëlle Herrenschmidt, who draws courtroom scenes in France.
Holger Spamann, a Harvard Law School professor who attended the talk, says Breyer also made a case for the professionalism of judges and the importance of their detachment from politics.
