CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Several justices on the nation's highest court are in Massachusetts to celebrate the bicentennial of Harvard Law School.

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has been joined by Justices Anthony Kennedy, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Neil Gorsuch and retired Justice David Souter at Thursday's event on campus. They are all Harvard Law School alumni.
