In his latest column, appellate attorney Howard J. Bashman honors the legacy of former 3rd Circuit Chief Judge Edward R. Becker, who died of cancer this month. Bashman writes that there can be no doubt that Becker's judicial tenure would deserve the word "greatness" even if that label were reserved for only the best and the brightest. Writes Bashman: "Becker's superior intellect, common sense and decency as a human being combined to place him among the finest federal appellate judges ever to have served."
