		Judge Hand's legacy is a powerful presence in the circuit and one that the court has proudly tried to live up to.
		For that seat, Judge Walker says he is hoping for a "good lawyer" who is "hard-working and fully understanding of the very rich traditions of the 2nd Circuit." The court also has nine senior judges who have elected to retire from active service while retaining their office and some judicial responsibilities.
		Judges on the 2nd Circuit bench are not particularly flamboyant.

	KIKO'S HOUSE: Judge Learned Hand: An Appreciation
		Hand was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President William Howard Taft in 1909 and was promoted to the Second Circuit by President Calvin Coolidge in 1924, where he served for the rest of his life.
		His 52 years as a federal judge is a record, and although he never was appointed to the Supreme Court, he is widely considered to have been a greater jurist than all but a few justices.
		Hand did lend his voice to ongoing debates over judicial activism and the expansion of constitutional liberties, but his legacy lies less in constitutional law since relatively few constitutional cases came before the Second Circuit, than in contract and tort law.

	A Trial Judge's Freedom and Responsibility - 52.07
		The ethical test of a judge is not whether his judgments run parallel to the judgments of a moralist, but whether the judge administers his office true to its traditional limitations as well as to its aspirations.
		If judges seem to comment on the morality of conduct or the extent of damages, they may discover that the jurors regard their own knowledge as superior to the judges'.
		If the trial judge is presented with the claim that a legislative act is unconstitutional, he ought to remind himself that every possible presumption is in favor of the validity of the legislation and that in certain constitutional controversies a district judge has no jurisdiction to act unless he is sitting with two other judges.

		The judges caught on camera were certainly embarrassed when it looked like they were vacationing at taxpayers' expense, exemplifying how expanded media coverage can have a negative effect on the image of the courts.
		Judges now have reason to worry about the public perception of the courts when individual cases are treated similarly to sporting events.
		Judges are also concerned about the potential for erosion in the public's confidence, because there have been a few cases in U.S. history where media coverage appears to have affected the fundamental fairness of the trial.

	THE FORD PINTO CASE:
		Although Judge Cardozo concluded that the accident was not foreseeable and therefore unavoidable, the Adams case laid the groundwork for a "balancing" approach to negligence.
		Judge Hand attempted to quantify a criteria to determine when leaving a barge unattended was negligence and when it was not.
		Judge Hand felt the expected harm (the probability of the accident, multiplied by the cost of the accident) was greater than the justification for a one and a half day absence of a bargee.

	Hand, Learned (US judge)
		In an era where government and corporations were running amuck with power, he was indeed a “learned hand” in striking down causes or legislation that ran contrary to his view of the American consitution.
		Hand refused to follow the “sagesse des foules” and, instead, decided that the proper test was an “incitement test”; whether the material encouraged or incited others to interfere with military operations.
		On the Court of Appeals, he joined his cousin Augustus Noble Hand and devised a judgment writing system which promoted independent thought with each judge declaring his opinion on a case in writing and then sharing this opinion with the others, before they met collegially to decide on the Court’s disposition of the appeal.

	SSRN-Hand, Posner, and the Myth of the 'Hand Formula' by Richard Wright
		The most famous judicial exposition of the aggregate-risk-utility test is the "Hand formula," which was set forth by federal Second Circuit Judge Learned Hand in a series of opinions that commenced in 1938, four years after the test's adoption in the first Restatement.
		Hand was an active participant in the drafting of the first Restatement, and these opinions seem to have been an attempt to stimulate courts' use of the aggregate-risk-utility test.
		During the five decades (1909-1961) that Hand served as a federal judge, he mentioned the test in only eleven opinions, between 1938 and 1949, and in none of these opinions did he actually apply the test to resolve the negligence issue.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - Robert H. Jackson on Learned and Augustus Hand:
		Justice Robert Jackson and Judge Learned Hand are probably my two favorite judges, so I was particularly interested to see that Justice Jackson once gave a speech in 1951 on what made Learned Hand and his cousin Augustus Hand so outstanding.
		If we are to judge Learned by his decisions, then it seems that this is best done by attributing to him a high capacity for legal or policy decision making - higher than other judges whose judgements are held in less esteem.
		Judge Newman may not be as colorful and quotable as Learned Hand, but just as brilliant (maybe he's the modern-day "follow Augustus" judge).

		Learned's cousin Augustus Hand, who was also a Second Circuit judge, was actually Augustus Noble Hand, but he decided to stick with the first name.

		One of my own great mentors, the late Elliot Richardson, was a law clerk for the great judge, Learned Hand, and embodied his wisdom and moderation in his own life and actions.
		It may be, as some would doubtless argue, that the social science learning I have cited today needs more testing and replication; and that it is dangerous to generalize as broadly as I suggest or imply.
		Learned Hand was interested in process and moderation (one of the ways perhaps to avoid self-deception and rationalization).
