Cardozo was no saint, though, for his life included the toughness of his many years as an ambitious lawyer, and his character contained such human failings as vanity and prejudice; however, he was a good man with extraordinary talents.
Cardozo spent the last six years of his life arguing out the constitutional issues that divided the country, and finally he became part of the majority that reshaped American constitutional law and set the Supreme Court on the doctrinal path that it has followed ever since.
Cardozo was also involved in many of the notorious cases in which some of the leading capitalists of the nineteenth century sought to use the courts to further their business schemes.
