Reviews
"Learned Hand was a great judge and a fascinating man, and Gerald Gunther has done him full justice in this rich, informed, and absorbing book." -- Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. "A fascinating account of a great life...[It] will surely be recognized as one of the country's outstanding legal biographies." -- Erwin N. Griswold, Former Solicitor General of the United States Former Dean, Harvard Law School "This judicious and finely nuanced biography illuminates not only the life and mind of a great jurist, but also the great issues of American society with which he grappled." -- Ronald Steel "A compelling portrait of a great judge...a moving glimpse into the heart, mind, and spirit of an extraordinary accomplished, yet always agonized, human being...[Gunther] celebrates the ennobling, inspiring vision of human liberty that shines throughout Hand's life and work." -- Nadine Strossen, President, American Civil Liberties Union Professor of Law, New York Law School "A vivid portrait that should appeal not only to lawyers but also to all who read biographies of great Americans." -- Harry H. Wellington, Dean, New York Law School Former Dean, Yale Law School "The colorful and provocative record of the brilliantly creative thinking of the greatest judge and legal philosopher of recent times, told by Gunther in lucid prose that doesn't take a lawyer to understand." -- Louis Auchincloss

Synopsis
A Masterful, moving account of the life and work of one of the great judges of the twentieth century, whose work has left a profound mark on our legal, intellectual, and social landscape. The greatest judge never to be appointed to the Supreme Court, Learned Hand is widely considered the peer of Justices Holmes, Brandeis, and Cardozo. In his more than fifty years on the bench, he left an unequaled legacy of lastingly influential writings. This distinctive biography goes well beyond Hand's official work, however, to depict both a complex human being and the times in which he lived. The first to draw on the enormous collection of the judge's private papers, the eminent constitutional scholar Gerald Gunther vividly portrays a public man consumed by private doubts. Gunther's lively account moves from Hand's childhood in a formidable (and anxiety-producing) family of lawyers to his years at Harvard as a studious outsider, his frustrating experience in private law practice, his felt inadequacies in marriage, and his work as a federal judge. Throughout his life, Hand believed himself unworthy of the accolades bestowed upon him; self-doubt permeated all aspects of his life. Gunther subtly explores the ties between the modest, uncertain man -- a liberal skeptic who was never "too sure [he was] right" -- and his public record, and suggests that Hand's personal traits shaped his modest approach to judging: the questioning human being could not help acting that way as a judge. Hand's most enduring legacy is his advocacy of judicial restraint: repeatedly he sounded the dangers of excessive activism in unelected judges. Yet he mustered the courage to support such basic values as freedom of expression -- from his personally costly defense of dissenters amid the hysteria of World War I to his strong affirmation of free speech in his rulings on obscenity and his outspoken attacks on McCarthyism in the 1950s. This biography also offers the perspective of one of this era's most sensitive public figures on the rich political and social history of the first six decades of the twentieth century. By examining Hand's voluminous correspondence with such acquaintances as Walter Lippmann, Felix Frankfurter, and Herbert Croly (with whom he was a founding contributor to The New Republic), Gunther illuminates Hand's intense involvement with the public issues of his times, such as his enthusiastic support of Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive party. Gunther gives us a graphic portrait of a complex and uncommon man whose thoughts and words inspired generations of Americans and continue to do so today.
