About the Author
John M. Ferren is a senior judge on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. He lives with his wife, Linda, in Washington, D.C., and South Bethany, Delaware.
From the Inside Flap
Justice Wiley Rutledge (1894-1949), a member of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, was FDR's last appointee to the Supreme Court, where he was a leading liberal voice on the bench. In this readable and first full biography of Rutledge, Judge Ferren addresses both his life and judicial decision-making, his principled approach to liberal judicial activism, his stand on the first Japanese war crimes trial, and other civil libertarian matters where Rutledge made his mark.
