William Orville Douglas (1898-1980) served as chairman of the Securities and Exchange
Commission from 1937 to 1939, during which time President Franklin D. Roosevelt
appointed him Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to succeed Louis D. Brandeis. Justice
Douglas's service on the Court totaled 36 years and seven months, longer than any other
justice up until that point. He retired in November 1975 and died five years later at the age of
81. He was strongly libertarian in his opinions, distrustful of establishments of all types,
and considered himself a voice for the voiceless and powerless. Faint surface creases. Corners
slightly worn. Lightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
