Corwin, Edward S. (1878-1963) third McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and first chairman of the Department of Politics, was considered the leading expositor of the intent and meaning of the Constitution.
Corwin’s influence eventually extended beyond the campus to the federal government, which he served in 1935 as an adviser to the Public Works Administration, and in 1936 and 1937 as a special assistant and consultant to the attorney general on constitutional issues.
Generally recognized as the most learned and discriminating of all our modern constitutional authorities, Corwin was a scholar’s scholar.
Historians, political scientists, and legal practitioners join in proclaiming his preeminence.
The law itself reflects his own pointed dictum: `If judges make law, so do commentators.’ Corwin is in the great tradition of Cooley and Kent.
His contributions are sources of learning and understanding — hallmarks to emulate and revere.’’
As editor of the Library of Congress’s legislative reference division, he directed a research project that resulted in a massive volume, The Constitution Annotated: Analysis and Interpretation.
