First published in 1994. In the two centuries of governance under the Constitution, 105 men and two women have sat as justices on the nation's highest tribunal, the Supreme Court of the United States. Each of them has brought some unique insights or talents to that position. Contributors to this volume were asked to concentrate on the judicial tenure of their subjects, and to interpret those careers and evaluate their importance. They were asked to deal with the pre-Court years only insofar as those experiences had a major impact on jurisprudence.

Melvin Urofsky is a Professor of History at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
