Abstract
Wabash College established the David W. Peck Senior Medal in 1974 to recognize eminence in the law in memory of Judge David W. Peck, Wabash class of 1922. In his long and distinguished legal career, Peck served as partner at Sullivan and Cromwell and as Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court. The annual Peck Lecture has honored some of the nation’s most distinguished practitioners, judges, and law professors. Solicitor General Fisher’s 2023 Peck Lecture explores the origins of the office of state attorney general and argues that the political independence of attorneys general is critical to development and maintenance of the rule of law.
