William Rehnquist: The Chief Justice as Counterrevolutionary
Recorded On
06/22/2026
COURSE DETAILS
William Rehnquist was the 16th Chief Justice of the United States. Prior to his elevation to the center chair, he served as the 89th Associate Justice, becoming the Supreme Court’s 100th member.
Rehnquist served for more than 33 years on the Court, from 1972 until his death in 2005, the latter 19 as Chief Justice. His tangible legacy is found in the 458 majority opinions, 376 dissenting opinions, 96 concurrences, and 33 opinions in which he either concurred or dissented in part that he authored during his tenure.
But his most lasting legacy could well be how he altered the direction of the Court and fostered a more conservative approach to issues of federalism, individual liberty, and constitutional interpretation.
