Abstract

Justice Stewart Pollack's two decade service on the New Jersey Supreme Court reflects his characterization of lawyers and judges as catchers in the rye, those who catch ordinary people before they fall off of the metaphorical cliffs of life. The clarity of his reasoning and moral intuition has influenced judges, students and academics across the country.
