Research output: Contribution to JournalArticle

Abstract

A trove of American legal and social history resides in the Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers, a vast collection housed at the Wilbur C. Hall Law Library. Spanning from 1921 to 1998, these papers offer an intimate look into the life and career of a man who rose from being a Richmond, Virginia, attorney to an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. The collection, the cornerstone of the Lewis F. Powell Jr. Archives, provides an invaluable resource for scholars, students and anyone interested in the evolution of American law and society in the 20th century.
