The "scholar's seat" has repeatedly been used in United States history to refer to one of the nine seats on the Supreme Court occupied by its brightest legal mind. While not literally a formal position on the court, a justice said to occupy the scholar's seat typically has an unrivaled reputation for legal exellence and scholarship. Such justices may also be referred to as a "judge's judge." Previous justices to have occupied the scholar's seat are Justice Cardozo and Justice Frankfurter.
