John Paul Stevens
John Paul Stevens (April 20, 1920 – July 16, 2019) was an American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1975 to 2010. At the time of his retirement, he was the second-oldest justice in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court and the third-longest-serving justice. At the time of his death in 2019 at age 99, he was the longest-lived Supreme Court justice ever. His long tenure saw him write for the Court on most issues of American law, including civil liberties, the death penalty, government action, and intellectual property. Despite being a registered Republican who throughout his life identified as a conservative, Stevens was considered to have been on the liberal side of the Court at the time of his retirement.Born in Chicago, Stevens served in the United States Navy during World War II and graduated from Northwestern University School of Law. After clerking for Justice Wiley Rutledge, he co-founded a law firm in Chicago, focusing on antitrust law. In 1970, President Richard Nixon appointed Stevens to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Five years later, President Gerald Ford successfully nominated Stevens to the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Justice William O. Douglas. He became the senior associate justice after the retirement of Harry Blackmun in 1994. After the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist, Stevens briefly acted in the capacity of Chief Justice before the appointment of John Roberts. Stevens retired in 2010 during the administration of President Barack Obama and was succeeded by Elena Kagan.
Stevens's majority opinions in landmark cases include ''Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.'', ''Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council'', ''Apprendi v. New Jersey'', ''Hamdan v. Rumsfeld'', ''NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co.'', ''Kelo v. City of New London'', ''Gonzales v. Raich'', ''U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton'', and ''Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency''. Stevens is also known for his dissents in ''Texas v. Johnson'', ''Bush v. Gore'', ''Bethel v. Fraser'', ''District of Columbia v. Heller'', ''Printz v. United States'', and ''Citizens United v. FEC''. Provided by Wikipedia
