Book Description
Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan (1833-1911) is best known for condemning racial segregation in his dissent from Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, when he declared, "Our Constitution is color-blind." But in other judicial decisions--as well as in some areas of his life--Harlan's actions directly contradicted the essence of his famous statement. Similarly, Harlan was called the people's judge for favoring income tax and antitrust laws, yet he also upheld doctrines that benefited large corporations. Examining these and other puzzles in Harlan's judicial career, Linda Przybyszewski draws on a rich array of previously neglected sources--including the verbatim transcripts of his 1897-98 lectures on constitutional law, his wife's 1915 memoirs, and a compilation of opinions, drawn up by Harlan himself, that he wanted republished. Her thoughtful examination demonstrates how Harlan inherited the traditions of paternalism, nationalism, and religious faith; how he reshaped these traditions in light of his experiences as a lawyer, political candidate, and judge; and how he justified the vision of the law he wrote. An innovative combination of personal and judicial biography, this book makes an insightful contribution to American constitutional and intellectual history.

Book Description
Clark, Floyd Barzilia. The Constitutional Doctrines of Justice Harlan. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1915. ix, 208 pp. Reprint available September 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 1-58477-446-0. Cloth. $70. * During his long tenure on the U.S. Supreme Court John Marshall Harlan [1833-1911] wrote numerous dissenting opinions on everything from civil rights to the federal income tax. He was said at the time to suffer from "dissent-ary," but posterity has shown him to be a liberal born too soon since many aspects of his dissents gained majorities after his death. We see this most clearly in his blistering dissents in the Civil Rights Cases (1883) and Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). On a broader scale, his interpretation of "due process" contributed to the development of the incorporation theory during the 1950s and 60s. Viewed as a whole his emphasis on the social consequences of decisions rather than their adherence to abstract legal principles pointed the way toward the work of Pound and Llewellyn. Clark offers an excellent introduction to Harlan's doctrines regarding civil rights, the suability of states, impairment of the obligation of contracts, interstate and foreign commerce, judicial legislation and other topics that is valuable for its balance of summary and interpretation. First published in 1915, it continues to be an essential study of Harlan's judicial beliefs.
