Students often ask me who my favorite Supreme Court Justice is/was. As this week's bonus content explains, my answer is (perhaps surprisingly) straightforward
I could not better describe my own admiration for Harlan the Younger's work product. Tomorrow I'm teaching his Poe dissent, and next Tuesday his opinion for a unanimous court in Moragne v. States Marine – a model of calm and clear explanation of when, and why, the Court should overrule a prior decision (in this instance, an admiralty decision) that had grown too isolated from the rest of decisional and statutory law. Perhaps one day I won't learn something new when I read a Harlan opinion. Hasn't happened yet.
My Favorite Justice” is such a meaningful title, especially when justice can mean something different to everyone. It’s interesting to reflect on the principles and decisions that shape our communities. I recently came across some helpful information while exploring https://summitcountypropertyappraiser.org resources. It’s always valuable to look at important topics from different perspectives and keep the conversation thoughtful.
