Judges of a nation's highest court whose rulings are themselves landmark constitutional law. Belongs here: the United States Supreme Court justices John Marshall, John Marshall Harlan, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Earl Warren, Antonin Scalia and Robert Bork as a nominated-but-unconfirmed justice still read for his judicial philosophy, and Arthur Chaskalson, first president of South Africa's Constitutional Court. Does not belong here: an English common law figure whose main legacy predates the modern constitutional-court era, grouped under common law founders and commentators instead.
