The article presents comments on the opinion of U.S. Justice Hugo L. Black in various court cases. Black could express himself with "moderated eloquence" will come as a surprise to those who were influenced by the articles about him which flooded the press after the announcement of his appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court. None was greeted with such a flood of abuse as Black. The charge was made that Black before his election to the Senate, had been a mere police-court lawyer, and that he lacked legal training and experience for the bench. As a matter of fact, he had been one of the outstanding trial lawyers of Alabama.
