About the Author: Warren Burger (1907–1995) graduated from St. Paul College of Law. After having a private practice for over twenty years and serving as a U.S. assistant attorney general and then a judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals, he was appointed chief justice in 1969. Burger's judicial record reflected his belief in "strict constructionism," where the Constitution was construed narrowly, and that society's rights should outweigh the rights of the accused.
