4 somber, beautiful photos from Antonin Scalia's memorial

published 19 February 2016

Justice Antonin Scalia's flag-draped casket was carried Friday morning into the Supreme Court, past rows of current and former law clerks who lined the steps, paying tribute to their late boss.

Scalia's body will lie in repose through the day in the building's Great Hall, not far from the courtroom where he served as a leader of the court's conservative wing for three decades. After a private ceremony, the public will be invited to view the casket until 8 p.m. Below, a look at the moving tribute to the late legal icon. Lauren Hansen
