This article needs to be reworked NPOV as is leaning heavily towards overinflating his accomplishments. So Judge Hand was the greatest appeals Judge of all time, isn't that like being the best AAA baseball player that never got into the major's? A little less biased revision would is warranted.
It's a detail, I know, but... With the following cases, my suspicion is that there's a formatting inconsistency. I.e. I suspect that they're all from the second circuit, and so the second one should read "159 F.2d 848 (2d Cir. 1947)."
But really, I haven't the foggiest. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 01:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
What is Albany's main residential street? Doesn't this change with the times? The link takes you to a Wikipedia page about Albany streets, without clarifying which street Hand lived on. Anyone know where his family lived in Albany? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.183.17.211 (talk) 16:55, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
How do we know that Learned Hand voted for FDR in 1936 as it says on the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Happy Wisdom (talk • contribs) 19:50, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
Why does the article keep calling him "Learned Hand"? Why not just "Hand" like normal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EEng (talk • contribs) 03:20, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
Having worked for many years in explanatory journalism, I feel impelled to compliment the author of this article on Learned Hand. I had never before familiarized myself with his life, and today just stumbled upon this entry during peregrinations between Justices Brandeis, Cardozo and Frankfurter, and the Supreme Court’s impact on America’s interbellum years.
Anyway, your writing is lovely, the personal to professional dynamics of Hand’s life well-proportioned, and your navigation of the tensions between his estimable political convictions and his unpersuasive judicial caution is, well, utterly judicious. Most importantly, of course, your command over the facts of Hand’s life are level, plumb, precise and discursive.
The anonymity imposed by Wikipedia on writers and editors has always baffled me, but whoever you are, thank you for an engaging read and congratulations for an encyclopedically perfect entry.
