Honorable Justice: The Life of Oliver Wendell Holmes (SIGNED COPY)by: Novick, Sheldon M. - Product Image

Honorable Justice: The Life of Oliver Wendell Holmes (SIGNED COPY)
by: Novick, Sheldon M.

Boston, Little Brown & Co., 1st, 1989, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. 519 pages, b&w illustrations. SIGNED BY NOVICK on half-title page. "Novick's biography is superb in revealing Holmes. Clearly written and conveying the drama of a man active from the Civil War through the New Deal, it is biography on the grand scale. It is less successful in explaining the paradox of Holmes, the champion of civil liberties, who was also the author of decisions that sanctioned injustice for African Americans and women. It also opens only a partial window to the inside workings of the Supreme Court. Novick, a practicing attorney and writer who is scholar in residence at the Vermont Law School, has produced a scholarly and insightful portrait of a figure who seemed larger than life and now appears in both the majesty and weakness of his humanity." Clean copy.

The Great Dissenter: The Story of John Marshall Harlan, America's Judicial Heroby: Peter S. Canellos  - Product Image

The Great Dissenter: The Story of John Marshall Harlan, America's Judicial Hero
by: Peter S. Canellos

NY, Simon & Schuster, 1st, 2021, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. 609 pages, b&w illustrations. They say that history is written by the victors. But not in the case of the most famous dissenter on the Supreme Court. Almost a century after his death, John Marshall Harlan's words helped end segregation and gave us our civil rights and our modern economic freedom. But his legacy would not have been possible without the courage of Robert Harlan, a slave who John's father raised like a son in the same household. After the Civil War, Robert emerges as a political leader. With Black people holding power in the Republican Party, it is Robert who helps John land his appointment to the Supreme Court. At first, John is awed by his fellow justices, but the country is changing. Northern whites are prepared to take away black rights to appease the South. Giant trusts are monopolizing entire industries. Against this onslaught, the Supreme Court seemed all too willing to strip away civil rights and invalidate labor protections. So as case after case comes before the court, challenging his core values, John makes a fateful decision: He breaks with his colleagues in fundamental ways, becoming the nation's prime defender of the rights of Black people, immigrant laborers, and people in distant lands occupied by the US. Harlan's dissents, particularly in Plessy v. Ferguson, were widely read and a source of hope for decades. Thurgood Marshall called Harlan's Plessy dissent his "Bible"--and his legal roadmap to overturning segregation. In the end, Harlan's words built the foundations for the legal revolutions of the New Deal and Civil Rights eras.
