Abstract

As the former counsel to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the first African American on the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Marshall is widely considered a protector of civil rights and civil liberties. While this perception of Justice Marshall is well deserved and substantiated by his record, it may obscure his mastery of ordinary justice as expressed in the law of civil procedure.
