Reynolds, Led Zeppelin founder Jimmy Page, and musical theatre composer and 2019 guest of honor Andrew Lloyd Webber at the introductory dinner of the International Achievement Summit at the Four Seasons Hotel. -- Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh began his address by joking, “When I was invited, I said I would only come if I could follow Pitbull.” The Justice spoke warmly of teachers and mentors who had the greatest influence on him. As a recent law school graduate, Kavanaugh clerked for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, and he praised Justice Kennedy’s deep learning as well as his example of unfailing civility on the bench.
