Howell Edmunds Jackson (April 8, 1832 – August 8, 1895) was an American jurist and politician. He served on the United States Supreme Court, in the U.S. Senate, United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and the Tennessee House of Representatives. He authored notable opinions on the Interstate Commerce Act and the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. Justice Jackson was the first to bring a law school graduate with him to serve as his secretary-clerk on the Supreme Court James Clark McReynolds, who later also became a Supreme Court Justice. ==Early life== Jackson was born in Paris, Tennessee to Alexander Jackson, a doctor, and Mary (née Hurt) Jackson, the daughter of a Baptist minister, both natives of Virginia. Among his siblings was William Hicks Jackson. The family moved to Jackson, Tennessee when Howell was eight. There his father was elected as a Whig to the state legislature and subsequently as Jackson's mayor. Howell graduated from West Tennessee College in 1849, where he studied Greek and Latin. He attended the University of Virginia for two years. Returning to Tennessee, he clerked for Judge A. W. O. Totten of the Tennessee Supreme Court, and Milton Brown, a former U.S. Representative. The next year Howell attended Cumberland School of Law in Lebanon, Tennessee and graduated in 1856. Upon admission to the bar, he practiced first in Jackson, but was unable to establish a successful practice. He relocated to the larger city of Memphis, a thriving cotton market of the Mississippi Delta, and partnered with David M. Currin, a prominent member of the Democratic Party. In Memphis, Jackson met and married Sophia Malloy, the daughter of a local client. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howell Edmunds Jackson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
