John Marshall Portrayed by Doug Thomas
John James Marshall was an American politician who served as the fourth Chief Justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835. Marshall remains the longest-serving chief justice in Supreme Court history, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential justices to ever sit on the Supreme Court.
Doug Thomas’ natural intelligence and quick wit provide the perfect combination to bring John Marshall to the 21st century audience.
A debate between John Marshall and Thomas Jefferson highlights the essential differences between the Founders: The sovereign rights of the States, the power of the Executive, and the independent authority of the Judiciary.
Marshall v. Jefferson is popular for High School age audiences, General Audiences, and Continuing Legal Education (CLE) for Lawyers and Judges.
