Description
Benjamin Cardozo graduated from Columbia Law School and wrote many books that remain valuable to judges today. He served on the N.Y. Court of Appeals. In 1932, Herbert Hoover nominated him as an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Senator Clarence Dill called Hoover’s appointment of Cardozo “the finest act of his career as president.” Cardozo formed part of the liberal bloc of justices known as the Three Musketeers. He wrote the Court’s majority opinion in Nixon v. Condon and Steward Machine Co. v. Davis. Cardozo is remembered for his significant influence on the development of American common law.
