NEW ORLEANS — Louisiana's Supreme Court building now bears the name of the late Chief Justice Pascal Calogero Jr. Calogero, the longest-serving justice in the court's history.
He served on the Supreme Court for 36 years, including 18 as chief justice. He retired in 2008 and died last year. The Legislature voted in June to name the French Quarter building that houses the high court after Calogero.
The current justices and other dignitaries gathered Tuesday at the building for a naming ceremony on Tuesday afternoon.
