These are excerpts from elegies delivered by Justice Virginia Long and former justices Alan Handler and James Zazzali at a memorial service held Nov. 10, at the state Supreme Court in Trenton for Justice Daniel O’Hern, who served on the Court from 1981 to 2000:

These rarely failed to win the Court.
