Dred Scott
Who was the first Supreme Court justice to graduate from law school with a degree (he graduated from Harvard Law School in 1832)? Justices appointed to the Court prior either became lawyers via apprenticeships (as Kim Kardashian is currently attempting) or attended law school without graduating.
Hint: This justice is also notable for being one of two dissenters in the Dred Scott case. Acrimony over that decision led, in part, to the justice’s decision to resign from the Court.
