Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., son of the famous writer and physician by the same name. Holmes, a graduate of Harvard Law School, was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1902, and approved unanimously by the Senate on December 4 of that year. He served on the bench until 1932.
Holmes was well-known for his short, oft-quoted, and well-written opinions, which were frequently in dissent with the majority opinion. For this reason, his contemporaries referred to him as "The Great Dissenter," a label that has been applied to several justices over the years.
