When Leo E. Strine Jr. was sworn in as Delaware’s chief justice just over a year ago, he took on a new title and a new court, but he has maintained his trademark demeanor and judicial style.

Strine became Delaware’s eighth Supreme Court chief justice on Feb. 28, 2014. Since then, he has issued more than 100 opinions and orders, welcomed three new justices to the court, formed a committee to overhaul problem-solving courts, and started a commission for access to justice.
