Hughes, Stone and Vinson Courts

The Hughes, Stone and Vinson Courts gather the justices who served under Chief Justices Charles Evans Hughes, Harlan Fiske Stone and Fred Vinson from 1930 to 1953, the era that resolved the constitutional crisis over the New Deal, abandoned the Lochner-era limits on economic regulation after 1937, and navigated the Second World War and its earliest Cold War aftermath, including the Court's since-repudiated approval of Japanese American internment.
