Richard Nixon described the chief justice as capable of a “more profound and lasting influence on . . . the direction of the nation than most presidents.” As “first among equals,” the chief justice occupies a singular place at the intersection of American law, politics, and statesmanship. Managing both the Supreme Court and the entire federal judiciary, the chief justice has unique opportunities to shape the federal government’s judicial branch — and in turn, be shaped by it. Understanding the Supreme Court and American constitutionalism thus depends on studying the history of this unique office.
Please join AEI for a discussion on the chief justice terms of John Marshall, Earl Warren, and John Roberts, and what their influence means for the Supreme Court’s future.
