Source on Robert H. Jackson

“To an unusual degree in the history of the Court, Justice Jackson wrote as he felt. In his case the style was the man….He wrote as he talked and he talked as he felt. The fact that his opinions were written talk made them as lively as the liveliness of his talk.”

“He had 'impish candor', to borrow one of his own phrases. Candor, indeed, was one of his deepest veins.”

“No man who ever sat on the Supreme Court, it seems to me, mirrored the man in him in his judicial work more completely than did Justice Jackson.”
