LAW AND THE SUPREME COURT

In this section of the web site are items relating to the law, lawyers, judges and legal history, which naturally focuses on the United States Supreme Court. The items include autographs, documents, prints, law books, newspapers, and other historical memorabilia. There are also law related items in other sections, for instance the  Connecticut section often has autographs and other documents concerning Connecticut's legal history. Chief Justice William Howard Taft, was a former President of the United States, so some items concerning his political career are in the political memorabilia section.

Below are some of the items in our inventory, with the first page devoted to Supreme Court autographs and memorabilia. The second page also has Supreme Court and other legal autographs as well as legal prints, books, newspapers, magazines and miscellaneous legal items, including those concerning the United States Constitution.
