Scholars have portrayed Felix Frankfurter-Harvard law professor and Supreme Court justice-as a judicial failure, a liberal lawyer turned conservative justice, and Warren Court villain. Yet as Brad Snyder reveals, Frankfurter was a pro-government, pro-civil rights liberal. He helped found the ACLU, rejected shifting political labels, and practiced judicial restraint. A disciple of Oliver Wendell Holmes and a proteÌgeÌ of Louis Brandeis, he thrived as a power broker for FDR and as a talent scout for the liberal establishment. (Former students and clerks included Dean Acheson, Elliot Richardson, and Richard Goodwin.) This sweeping narrative illuminates how an Austrian immigrant befriended presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to Lyndon Johnson, led calls for a new trial for Sacco and Vanzetti, and helped achieve a unanimous opinion in Brown v. Board of Education. The result is a full and fascinating portrait of a lawyer and Supreme Court justice who championed democracy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Frankfurter, Felix, $d 1882-1965. 610 10 $a United States. $b Supreme Court $v Biography. 650 0 $a Judges $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Liberalism $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 5 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202024635.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021015732.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015236.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20221025013000.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221005010339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=12D83782447311EDBB956A3F21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
