Frankfurter thanks Professor S. Chesterfield Oppenheim for a copy of his book Federal Antitrust Laws. The great justice graciously says he will “turn to it as occasion calls.” Oppenheim was a prolific writer and legal scholar on antitrust and consumer protection law. It is unknown if Frankfurter ever found “such an occasion” to turn to Oppenheim’s work for help with his Supreme Court decisions but it is a nice association letter.
Condition: Excellent, with a full dark signature “Felix Frankfurter”.
Frankfurter was one of the most prominent legal figures before sitting on the Court. He was a prolific letter-writer and was generous with collectors seeking his autographs. His autographs are readily available but consistently sought after, even by non-collectors and collectors who don’t specialize in Supreme Court material.
Frankfurter stands as one of the giants of the Supreme Court, shaping not just the law but the progressive agenda of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Following the death of Justice Benajmin Cardozo, in 1938, President Roosevelt nominated Frankfurter, a Harvard Professor and New Deal advisor, to the Court. He would serve until 1962 when he stepped down and was succeeded by Arthur Goldberg.
