When you think "legal lions," think Myron H. Bright. Bright, 90, just celebrated more than 40 years as a judge on the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. It's been 40 years and eight months, to be precise, and that makes him the longest-serving working appellate judge on the 8th Circuit since it began in 1891. Bright, and other Court of Appeals employees who observed milestone anniversaries, were honored at a ceremony Tuesday at the Thomas F. Eagleton U.S. Courthouse.
