Description


Portrait of Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court
Antonin Gregory Scalia (/ˌæntənɪn skəˈlə/ (About this soundlisten); March 11, 1936 – February 13, 2016)[1][n 1] was an American jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1986 until his death in 2016. He was described as the intellectual anchor for the originalist and textualist position in the Court's conservative wing. For catalyzing an originalist and textualist movement in American law, he has been described as one of the most influential jurists of the twentieth century,[9] and one of the most important justices in the Supreme Court's history.[10] Scalia was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018, and the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University was named in his honor.
