Throwback Thursday: *The Most Senile Justice?*

That is the title of my four-page 2007 paper on “judicial decrepitude” — a term coined by historian David Garrow. In brief, building on Garrow’s work, my paper attempts to measure the true extent of the problem of judicial decrepitude among the members of the U.S. Supreme Court since the high court’s inception in 1789. After presenting the relevant data, I conclude (contra Garrow and others) that the incidence of judicial decrepitude is relatively infrequent and rare.
