Frankfurter, Felix (1882–1965), born in Austria, was brought to the U.S. (1894), and after graduation from Harvard Law School (1906) became a professor there (1914–39). During World War I he held such offices as assistant to the secretary of war, assistant to the secretary of labor, and chairman of the War Labor Policies Board. An important liberal adviser to the administration of Franklin Roosevelt, he was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court (1939) and served until 1962. His writings include
The Case of Sacco and Vanzetti (1927);
The Business of the Supreme Court (1928), in collaboration with J.M. Landis;
The Public and Its Government (1930); and
Mr. Justice Holmes and the Supreme Court (1938). His “occasional papers” (1913–38) were edited as
Law and Politics (1939).
