After briefly serving as a professor at the university (1882), he served as a justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court (1882-99), its Chief Justice (1899-1902), and as 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 came 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." On the other hand, he took the position that freedom of speech and the press could only be restricted when there was a "clear and present danger" of causing harm (of such a nature that the legislature could be said to have the power to prevent it). *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "Great Dissenter" are listed below.
