Appointed to the federal bench in 1914 by Woodrow Wilson and elevated to the Circuit Court of Appeals in 1927 by Calvin Coolidge, erudite Justice Hand wrote more than 3,000 opinions during his 39-year career. Among the famous appeals which he helped decide: the upholding of the lower-court decision that James Joyce's controversial novel, Ulysses, was "the sincere expression of an artist experimenting with a new technique" and hence not obscene; the rejection of Alger Hiss's first appeal from a perjury conviction; the majority opinion (in 1937) that wiretapping was legal within a state in one case, and the opinion three years later against the use of evidence in federal courts obtained by wiretapping. Justice Hand also figured in the motion-picture antitrust suits, in the trials of the Rosenbergs and of eleven top Communists, and in the shaping of laws on rent control, union labor, discrimination and alien registration.
