Chris Mondics has this article in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer about Justice Alito’s appearance in Philadelphia today to accept an award honoring the late CA3 Chief Judge Edward Becker.

A highlight:

Becker, who authored more than 2,000 opinions during his time on the bench, produced

prodigious amounts of work, Alito recalled, sometimes attending his children’s soccer games

with a law clerk who would brief him on cases as he walked along the sidelines.
