Autor

Charles Cooper Nott was a jurist, writer, and public figure known for his long tenure on the United States Court of Claims, where he served as both Associate Justice and later Chief Justice. A graduate of Union College in 1848, he brought a disciplined intellectual foundation to his legal and literary pursuits. His early professional life included service during the American Civil War, experiences that informed his later writings and reflections on national service and duty. Beyond his judicial responsibilities, Nott was also a thoughtful observer of the times in which he lived, and his published work reflects a deep concern for justice, civic responsibility, and the burdens of war. His writings often blended personal insight with broader legal and moral questions, offering readers a unique perspective shaped by both battlefield experience and courtroom deliberation. Nott's influence extended beyond his own career, contributing to the civic education of his generation and shaping how the legal system documented and responded to the pressing events of the 19th century. He died in New York in 1916.
