Bancroft Library, Regional Oral History Office,, issuing body.Abstract:
This project records oral history interviews with those who clerked for the Chief Justice from the time he was appointed by
President Eisenhower in 1953 until his retirement from the bench in 1969. Each former clerk's interview has a strong focus
on the yearlong (or, rarely, two-year) term of the Supreme Court clerkship. Discussions also touch on the legacy of the Warren
Court, a subject the former clerks are in a unique position to comment upon at some length. The topics explored in the interviews
include: the transformative nature of the Warren period in constitutional law; leadership vs. scholarship and the nature of
Warren's authority; the role of the associate justices and of the court as a whole; watershed cases, such as Brown v. Board
of Education and Miranda v. Arizona; the role and visibility of law clerks; the legacy and the evolution of constitutional
law since the Warren Court; how the experience influenced each former clerk's life and career trajectory.
