About This Book

A brother offers a portrait of a prominent legal figure, tracing family origins, upbringing, schooling, and early legal and journalistic work; it recounts editorial involvement and public controversies, describes service overseas and administrative responsibilities, and examines contributions to criminal law, codification efforts, judicial philosophy, and notable cases, interweaving correspondence, personal anecdotes, and assessments from colleagues to illuminate character, habits, and intellectual development from childhood to final years.
