Inscribed on the front free endpaper: "For Elizabeth Kenney, whose horizons are evidently wider even than the vast reaches of the Supreme Court, with the good wishes of Felix Frankfurter / June 2, 1960." Elizabeth Kenney was the secretary to Associate Justice Potter Stewart. Felix Frankfurter (1882-1965) was a prominent American jurist and Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, he immigrated to the United States as a child and became a naturalized citizen. He played a pivotal role in shaping constitutional law and championed the idea of judicial restraint. Serving on the Supreme Court from 1939 to 1962, Frankfurter's opinions often reflected his commitment to preserving the Court's integrity and the separation of powers. His writings include: "The Business of the Supreme Court: A Study in the Federal Judicial System" (1927), "Mr. Justice Holmes and the Supreme Court" (1931) - Frankfurter's tribute to his mentor, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., and "Of Law and Men" (1956).
