Jonathan Stemerman Remarks: Randy J. Holland Celebration of Life
Hi, my name is Jonathan Stemerman, and I clerked for Justice Holland during the 2003 to 2004 term. One of the biggest impacts that Justice Holland had on my life was the emphasis of the importance of family, and that no matter how busy you get to make time for your family. That’s something that…

Kevin McKenna Remarks: Randy J. Holland Celebration of Life
Good afternoon. My name is Kevin McKenna, and I was Justice Holland’s first law clerk in 1986. He inherited me from Justice McNeilly. Years later, I would tease Justice Holland that I showed him the ropes on the job that I would always outrank him by way of seniority. To which he would reply with…
