“Max Baer helped to change the culture on the court throughout his time as a justice,” Duquesne University President Ken Gormley said. “His most important legacy is his belief in the importance of collegiality and leaving all remnants of politics behind in serving on the judiciary."

Pennsylvania Chief Justice Max Baer, who died in his Pittsburgh home the night of Sept. 30, led the state Supreme Court with a sense of collegiality that will set the tone of the court for years to come, said Baer’s colleagues and family.
Baer, 74, died of a heart attack in his sleep, according to his son Benjamin Baer, a lawyer with Saltz Mongeluzzi & Bendesky. Baer had been set to retire from the court in December, per the court’s mandatory retirement rule.
