Potter Stewart
The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008
Potter Stewart 1915-85, Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1958-81), b. Jackson, Mich. After receiving (1941) his law degree from Yale, he was admitted to the Ohio bar. He later practiced law in Cincinnati. A U.S. Circuit Court judge from 1954 to 1958, he was appointed by President Eisenhower to replace Harold H. Burton on the Supreme Court. An advocate of the careful exercise of judicial review, Stewart limited his decisions to narrow questions of law and rarely ruled on broad constitutional issues.
