John Paul Stevens (April 20, 1920 – July 16, 2019) was an Americanlawyer and jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1975 until his voluntary retirement in 2010. At the time of his retirement, he was the second-oldest-serving justice in the history of the court and the third-longest-serving justice.[1][2] His long tenure saw him write for the court on most issues of American law, including civil liberties, death penalty, government action and intellectual property. In cases involving presidents of the United States, he wrote for the court that they were to be held accountable under American law.[3] A registered Republican when appointed who throughout his life identified as a conservative,[4] Stevens was considered to have been on the liberal side of the court at the time of his retirement.[5][6]
