Justice White, until his retirement from the Court in 1993, served our Nation with great distinction as a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. Prior to his nomination to the Supreme Court by President Kennedy, Justice White practiced law for 15 years in Denver, CO. From 1961-1962 Mr. White was Deputy Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice. Justice White graduated from Yale Law School and attended Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar.
