September 17, 2014

Supreme Court of the United States
Washington, D. C. 20543

The Honorable Randy J. Holland
Justice
Delaware Supreme Court
Court of Chancery Courthouse P. O. Box 369
Georgetown, Delaware 19947

Dear Justice Holland:

The Chief Justice received your August 25, 2014, letter inviting him and Mrs. Roberts to the American Inns of Court Celebration of Excellence on October 25, 2014. He appreciates your kind invitation and asked me to respond on his behalf. Unfortunately, the press of judicial business at the beginning of the Term prevents the Chief Justice from attending. Although his is unable to join you for this special event, he is pleased to know that the American Inns of Court has been so discerning in its recognitions this year.

Congratulations on your selection to receive the Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., Award for Professionalism and Ethics. The honor reflects not only a distinguished career of dedicated service, but also your continuing efforts to model the profession’s greatest virtues.

Best wishes for a rewarding evening. I look forward to seeing you there.

Sincerely,
Jeff
