Oliver Wendell Holmes

Japanese: ホームズ[子](英語表記)Oliver Wendell Holmes
Oliver Wendell Holmes
1841‐1935
American jurist. Born in Massachusetts. Son of a physician and poet of the same name. Graduated from Harvard Law School. After serving briefly as a professor at Harvard (1882), he served as a justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court (1882-99), its Chief Justice (1899-1902), and a justice of the United States Supreme Court (1902-32). As a justice of the United States Supreme Court, he argued that the judiciary should respect the judgments of the legislature when it comes to legislation on economic and social issues, and published many opinions opposing the majority's decision to declare many economic and social legislation unconstitutional for violating the due process clause from a natural law perspective, earning him the nickname "The Great Dissenter."
