Focus on the Family's Citizen magazine John Marshall Harlan was a longtime member of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church (USA) of Washington, D.C., perhaps best known as the church that was pastored in the 1930s and 1940s by the famous preacher Peter Marshall. Harlan was not just one of the longest-serving members of the high court (33 years), but he apparently was also its conscience from time to time, especially on matters involving civil rights.

The UNC Press, The Republic according to John Marshall Harlan by Linda Przybyszewski   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) 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. uncpress.unc.edu /books/T-1508.html   (249 words)
