BYRON "WHIZZER" WHITE
Signed syllabus of the 1983 case National Labor Relations Board v. Transportation Management Corp. White wrote the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in this case.
Printed Syllabus signed "Byron White" in blue ink on page 3. 14 pages, 5¾x9. Syllabus of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of National Labor Relations Board v. Transportation Management Corp., argued March 28, 1983 and decided June 15, 1983, with the unanimous opinion of the Supreme Court written by White. In this decision, the Supreme Court reversed the First Circuit Court by upholding a finding of the National Labor Relations Board that Transportation Management Corp. had the burden of proof in showing that a fired employee was not dismissed because of his union organizing activity, and had failed to meet that obligation. White was the first appointment to the Supreme Court by President Kennedy and served from 1962 until his retirement in 1993. White (1917-2002, born in Fort Collins, Florida), a member of the College Football Hall of Fame, served as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court (appointed by President Kennedy) from 1962 to 1993. He earned his nickname playing for the University of Colorado's football team. White played professional football for the then Pittsburgh Pirates (now the Steelers) to earn money for law school, and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford until World War II broke out. He returned to the U.S. and enrolled in Yale Law School in 1940 and also played two seasons with the Detroit Lions. At the time of his appointment, he was the youngest member (at age 44) to serve on the Court. Difficult to categorize and suspicious of ideology, White dissented in such landmark cases as Miranda v. Arizona (source of the "Miranda warning", 1966) and Roe v. Wade (1973). Lightly toned and creased. Stray ink mark in lower margin of signature page. Two pinhead-sized holes pass through all pages. Lightly stained near top edge of first page. Otherwise in fine condition.
