Justice Clark retires leaving strong writing shoes to fill
The Supreme Court faces loss of its best organized writer as Justice Tom C. Clark retires before July. At 67, his departures stem from avoiding conflicts of interest with his son’s Justice Department duties. Clark’s opinions were concise and clear, contrasting with the court's typically dense style, and his role as a Middle-man kept a flexible balance between liberal and conservative stances across landmark 1950s and 1960s cases.
