Alexander Mordecai Bickel (December 17, 1924 – November 8, 1974) was a law professor and expert on the United States Constitution. One of the most influential constitutional commentators of the twentieth century, his writings emphasize judicial restraint. ==Biography== Bickel was born in Bucharest, Romania to Jewish parents (Solomon and Yetta Bickel). The family immigrated to New York City in 1939. He graduated ''Phi Beta Kappa'' from CCNY in 1947 and ''summa cum laude'' from Harvard Law School in 1949.〔(Bickel, Alexander Mordecai ) in the Legal Dictionary of the Free Dictionary〕 Following law school, Bickel was law clerk for U.S. Appellate Judge Calvert Magruder. In 1950, he went to Europe as a law officer of the U.S. State Department, serving in Frankfurt, Germany, and with the European Defense Community Observer Delegation in Paris.〔 In 1952, he returned to the U.S., and clerked for Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter in the Court's 1952–53 term. He prepared a historic memorandum for Frankfurter, urging that ''Brown v. Board of Education'' be reargued.〔 In 1956, he became an instructor at Yale Law School, where he taught until his death. He was named Chancellor Kent Professor of Law and Legal History in 1966, and Sterling Professor of Law in 1974.〔 With colleague Charles Black, Bickel established Yale Law as a respected center for the study of constitutional law. A frequent contributor to ''Commentary'', ''New Republic'' and the ''New York Times'', Bickel argued against "prior restraint" of the press by the government as part of the successful representation of the New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case (1971). He also defended President Richard Nixon’s order to dismiss special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox. 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「Alexander Bickel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
