Felix Frankfurter (1882-1965) was an American lawyer and an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1939 to 1962. He was known for his active support of the principle of judicial restraint, believing that the federal courts and the Supreme Court should by and large refrain from interference in a state's right to govern its own affairs. This frequently put him on the dissenting side of ground-breaking decisions taken by the Warren Court to end discrimination.
