First case I read was I. de E. v. W. Intentional tort case from somewhere waaaay back in the middle ages. Oh, and legion will be happy to know we read some case in crim involving Coleman Hawkins.

jessi — John or Thurgood? Both strong candidates. Brandeis gets high marks from me, too. First Harlan was quite principled, dissenting in Plessy.
