The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) welcomed five individuals into the Warren E. Burger Society last month for their exemplary commitment to improving the administration of justice through extraordinary contributions of their time, talent, and support of NCSC. The leaders were recognized during an annual recognition luncheon in Washington, D.C., where family members of the late Chief Justice of the United States Warren E. Burger joined NCSC in honoring his legacy.
