Blurb: Herschel H. Friday (February 10, 1922 - March 1, 1994), during his day often considered one of the nation's finest lawyers, was an Arkansas bond lawyer whom President Richard Nixon considered appointing to the United States Supreme Court. After the American Bar Association felt Friday's nomination was too controversial due to his firm's representation of the Little Rock School District throughout the 1957 Central High School Crisis, Nixon nominated Lewis Powell instead. | |
