José A. Cabranes, U.S. Circuit Judge for the Second Circuit, Portrait Dedication [47:53-48:50]
I have that on unimpeachable authority, that story. On a more serious note, those of us who had the great fortune to have been law clerks for Judge Cabránis received an amazing education, not merely in federal procedure and jurisprudence, but in all the many subjects in which Judge Cabránis is so well versed, ranging from US foreign policy to the history of the New Deal, to the intricacies of politics in New York City, Puerto Rico, and many many other jurisdictions besides. He was to pick up on a point that Dorothy made the best editor that any one of us ever had or ever will have. We learned a lot from him in chambers, but more importantly, we gained a great friend and mentor for life, somebody who inspires in us boundless affection and admiration, and we are proud to join all of you today in honoring Judge Cabránis.
