Benjamin Cardozo
(1870-1938)
Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, born in 1870 into one of America’s oldest and most distinguished New York Sephardic Jewish families, was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1932 by President Herbert Hoover. He was a Supreme Court justice until his death in 1938 and was the second Jew, after Louis D. Brandeis, to serve on the nation’s highest court. Previously, Cardozo was a judge on the New York State Supreme Court and a Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals. He attended Columbia University Law School and quickly distinguished himself as a commercial law litigator and powerful orator.
Shaped by his Sephardic heritage, Cardozo identified as a proud Jew and active member of the Jewish community. Cardozo's legal brilliance and deep humanitarian concerns had a profound impact on legal doctrine and practice .
Cardozo brought honor to the United States and to the Jewish people and is considered to be one of the best legal minds in American history.
