The Court Years 1939-1975: The Autobiography Of William O. Douglas (1980), Ralph S. Tyler
The Court Years 1939-1975: The Autobiography Of William O. Douglas (1980), Ralph S. Tyler
Washington Law Review
Few Americans would claim objectivity on the subject of William O. Douglas. He inspired powerful reactions. I start by stating my deeply held admiration for Justice Douglas, a respect nurtured at a distance and from his writings. His writings brought Douglas the man and Douglas the Justice close to many who never met him. His words show him to be a man who cared profoundly about the world, its people, his country, and the law. Decades of American law students, particularly those like me who studied law in the 1960's and 1970's, listened to Justice Douglas, whether he was in …
Dedication To The Honorable Charles Horowitz, Betty B. Fletcher
Dedication To The Honorable Charles Horowitz, Betty B. Fletcher
Washington Law Review
Those of us who have had the privilege to know and work closely with Charles Horowitz are most gratified that the Washington Law Review is dedicating this issue to him. It is particularly fitting from the standpoint of the law school and the law review, for he received his undergraduate degree and his law degree from the University of Washington. In law school he was both the honor graduate of the class of 1927 and president of the student board of editors of the law review (today's counterpart to the "Editor-in-Chief'). Since that time he has continued a close and …
The Careful Scholarship Of Justice Charles Horowitz, Richard Cosway
The Careful Scholarship Of Justice Charles Horowitz, Richard Cosway
Washington Law Review
How appropriately the editors of this review have elected to dedicate some of its pages to honor a distinguished lawyer and judge whose legal career has closely paralleled the history of the publication itself. The name of Charles Horowitz appears on the masthead of the first two volumes, first as member and then as president of its editorial board. In later years, he has written for the Review, citing and analyzing decisions of the courts on which he later sat. That other Review authors have not always agreed with him will neither shock, wound, nor surprise him. After all, the …

Charles Horowitz: A Memoir, James M. Dolliver
Charles Horowitz: A Memoir, James M. Dolliver
Washington Law Review
To James A. Garfield's aphorism that the best education would be found with the student on one end of a bench and Mark Hopkins at the other I would add that the best education for a new member of the Washington Supreme Court is to have had Charles Horowitz at one end of the bench and the new member on the other. During the 42 years I have been a member of the court, through the implacable rules of seniority, he occupied one end of the bench and I the other. In the conference room, however, I always sat directly …

Mr. Justice Douglas, L. A. Powe, Jr.
Mr. Justice Douglas, L. A. Powe, Jr.
Washington Law Review
"The average American," according to William O. Douglas, "is an independent, rough and ready kind of fellow who wants to take a swing on his own." That statement goes a long way toward describing Douglas himself. Given his drive and intelligence, however, it would be inappropriate to equate Douglas with the "average American." He was, as his more than forty years of public service demonstrated, one of the extraordinary Americans in our history.

Dean Judson F. Falknor, Anon
Dean Judson F. Falknor, Anon
Washington Law Review
The resignation of Judson F. Falknor as Dean of the University of Washington Law School became effective July 31, 1951. Immediately thereafter he joined the faculty of the University of California Law School at Berkeley, California, where he will teach courses in Evidence and Procedure. Dean Falknor's departure, after fifteen years as head of the Law School, constitutes a real loss to both the school and the state of Washington. While we regret our loss, our regret is tempered by the fact that in leaving us Dean Falknor is following a carefully considered course of action. After so many years …

George Turner, A Character From Plutarch [Part 2], Claudius O. Johnson
Washington Law Review
The Judge who for nearly fifty years was one of the leading citizens of the State of Washington always looked the part. He was about six feet tall and weighed approximately 175 pounds. His hair was very dark and abundant until late middle age, when it grayed and thinned, but it never entirely disappeared. His brown eyes often carried a merry twinkle when he greeted a friend or engaged in conversation, and when he was aroused to anger they might "look a hole through" the object of his wrath. The nose was fine, straight, and well proportioned. A conventional mustache …

George Turner, A Character From Plutarch [Part 1], Claudius O. Johnson
Washington Law Review
It was no accident that Turner's ablest and noblest efforts on the floor of the United States Senate were in the interest of a subject people, for the battle for justice, at whatever points the lines happened to be breaking or threatened, was the most absorbing drama of his career. A statesman and a lawyer of a generation that has passed, he loved any fight; but it was with stem joy and unflinching courage that he hurled his deadliest shafts at the forces of injustice or oppression. A Federal marshal in Alabama (1876-1880), Judge of the Supreme Court of the …
"A Modern Titan", Stephen B.L. Penrose
"A Modern Titan", Stephen B.L. Penrose
Washington Law Review
I seriously propose for your consideration that not Charles Darwin, not Abraham Lincoln, not Bismarck, have so profoundly influenced the life of the world today as has the German writer and Socialist organizer, Karl Marx. The god of Soviet Russia is Karl Marx. And Vladimir Ilyitch Ulianoff—Lenin—is his Messiah. The Bible of the working classes of Europe-yes, of Socialist working men around the world, is the book which Karl Marx first published in 1867—"Das Capital," in which his economic social theories are advanced with tremendous power, although with an opacity of expression that obstructed their meaning from him who reads …

John Condon, Clark P. Bissett
John Condon, Clark P. Bissett
Washington Law Review
"A Tower is fallen, a star is set." These words of lamentation from the old Moorish ballad must have risen to the lips of a great many men when they read the announcement that John Condon was dead. It is impossible for me in a short time to review the distinguished career or make note of the accomplishments. I must content myself with a mere reference. This is not an easy task for me. Dean Condon was not only my superior in the Law School, but he was my dear and valued friend and I am the poorer at his …
