Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. Bücher
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. war ein amerikanischer Jurist, der von 1902 bis 1932 am Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten tätig war. Bekannt für seine lange Amtszeit und seine prägnanten, pointierten Urteile, zeigte er stets eine hohe Achtung vor den Entscheidungen gewählter Gesetzgeber. Holmes ist nach wie vor einer der am häufigsten zitierten Richter des Obersten Gerichtshofs, insbesondere wegen seines Mehrheitsurteils zum „klaren und gegenwärtigen Gefahren“ im Fall Schenck v. United States von 1919, was seinen Status als einer der einflussreichsten amerikanischen Richter des Common Law festigte.
