About the Author

James Coolidge Carter, 1827-1905, was an extremely distinguished and influential figure in the final decades of the nineteenth century and was recognized as a leader of the American bar. He was a national leader in the areas of legal practice, jurisprudence, and legal and political reform. It was speculated that President Grover Cleveland would likely have appointed him to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court if not for concerns for his health. He was noted as an appellate advocate and argued some three dozen cases before the Supreme Court. He served as President of the American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. He championed historical jurisprudence in his writings, arguing strenuously against codification. He was also one of the nation's leading municipal reformers.
