Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, unarguably one of the most outstanding
judges of the twentieth century, is a man whose name remains
prominent and whose contributions to the law remain relevant. This
first complete biography of the longtime member and chief judge of
the New York Court of Appeals and Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States during the turbulent years of the New Deal is a
monumental achievement by a distinguished interpreter of
constitutional law. Cardozo was a progressive judge who understood
and defended the proposition that judge-made law must be adapted to
modern conditions. He also preached and practiced the doctrine that
respect for precedent, history, and all branches of government
limited what a judge could and should do. Thus, he did not
modernize law at every opportunity. In this book, Andrew Kaufman
interweaves the personal and professional lives of this remarkable
man to yield a multidimensional whole. Cardozo's family ties to the
Jewish community were a particularly significant factor in shaping
his life, as was his father's scandalous career-and ultimate
disgrace-as a lawyer and judge. Kaufman concentrates, however, on
Cardozo's own distinguished career, including twenty-three years in
private practice as a tough-minded and skillful lawyer and his
classic lectures and writings on the judicial process. From this
biography emerges an estimable figure holding to concepts of duty
and responsibility, but a person not without frailties and
prejudice.
