Cardozo, Benjamin Nathan

Born May 24, 1870, in New York, N.Y.; died July 19, 1938, in Port Chester, N.Y. An American jurist, a representative of the school of sociological jurisprudence.

Cardozo graduated from Columbia University in 1889. After 1913 he was a judge in various high courts of the state of New York and then a justice of the US Supreme Court. He was known for his writings, which emphasized the role of the judge in originating law. Noting the necessity of a definite compromise between the stability of the law and social dynamics, Cardozo considered that such a situation gave a judge the right to decide which law or legal precedent should be applied. The pragmatic views of Cardozo led to the unlimited broadening of the rights of the court, the judicial abuse of power, and the impairment of the role of law and justice in the hearing of specific cases in court.
