The primary founder and guiding spirit of the Harvard Law School and the most prolific publicist of the nineteenth century, Story served as a member of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1811 to 1845.

Story's greatest objective was to fashion a national jurisprudence that would carry the American people into the modern age without losing those values.
