Ernest Knaebel (1872 1947) was an American lawyer and the eleventh reporter of decisions of the United States Supreme Court, serving from 1916 to 1944. Knaebel was a graduate of Yale University, receiving his A.B. in 1894, his LL.B. in 1896, and his LL.M. in 1897. Knaebel became reporter to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1916; during his tenure, the Government Printing Office took over publication of the United States Reports; previously private printers had issued them. From the collection of Christopher Smith Sargent (1911-1946) who was an Editor of the Harvard Law Review and graduated cum laude. He then served as personal law secretary to Mr. Justice Cardozo, of the United States Supreme Court. After his clerkship for Cardozo, Sargent joined Covington & Burling, a major Washington law firm. With the coming of the second World War, Sargent joined the U. S. Armed Forces. Initially, he sought to join the Army, but was rejected for having poor vision and requiring glasses. Fortunately, the Navy, despite having even stricter official standards, offered Sargent an officer's commission in October, 1942. He would spend thirty six months in a Naval uniform, most of the remainder of his short life. His service, however brief, will long be remembered. The following quote is extracted from "Black Company: The Story of Subchaser 1264" by Eric Purdon; Naval Institute Press -- The book is dedicated to Sargent's Memory] "(It was Christopher Smith Sargent, as) . a young lieutenant (junior grade), with less than a year's service, who got the Special Unit [of the newly named Bureau of Naval Personnel] on the track. He was the one individual who, by his intellect, personality, background, and a natural political sense, was responsible, more than any other person, for the eventual integration of the Negro into the United States Navy." Benjamin Nathan Cardozo (1870 1938) was an American lawyer and jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Cardozo is remembered for his significant influence on the development of American common law in the 20th century, in addition to his philosophy and vivid prose style. Cardozo formed part of the liberal bloc of justices known as the Three Musketeers. Cardozo supported the government position in seven of the ten most important New Deal cases, including Ashwater v Tennessee Valley Authority (Vol 297, No. 3, pp 288-372). According to the Supreme Court website: "The preliminary prints of the U.S. Reports are the third generation of opinion publication and dissemination. These are brown, soft-cover "advance pamphlets" that contain, in addition to the opinions themselves, all of the announcements, tables, indexes, and other features that make up the U.S. Reports. The contents of two or three preliminary prints will eventually be combined into a single bound volume.".
