The 2017 Fordham-Stein Prize, awarded to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, was mentioned in SCOTUS blog.
On October 11, Fordham Law School honored Justice Anthony Kennedy with the 2017 Fordham-Stein Prize, which is given annually to “an individual whose work embodies the highest standards of the legal profession.” According to Fordham News, the justice took the opportunity to say a few words about the promises and perils of the internet:
The cyber age is changing not only our technical world but how we think about who we are. And we’re not sure where this revolution is going. We must be careful not to allow this revolution to become what is known as the bypass age. We can’t allow the Internet to bypass the concept of who we are, what our heritage is, and what our destiny is. And that destiny and that heritage are to preserve and transmit freedom to the next generation.
