Celebration of the Life of Justice Holland set for April 30

The Holland family, together with the Delaware Supreme Court, will celebrate the life of former Justice Randy J. Holland at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 30, in the Educational and Humanities Theatre at Delaware State University in Dover.

The university’s policy requires that masks be worn for this celebration. 

At his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1986, Justice Holland became the youngest person ever to serve on the state’s highest court. He went on to also become the court’s longest-serving justice, retiring in March 2017. During his 30 years on the bench, Justice Holland wrote more than 700 reported opinions and several thousand case dispositive orders. He was recognized internationally as an expert and legal scholar in corporation law and corporate governance, legal and judicial ethics, and constitutional law. Justice Holland was a dedicated public servant who received numerous awards and accolades throughout his career for his scholarship and excellence as a judge, but he will be remembered most as a wise, kind and humble man.
