Joseph Bradley  

Definition

  • Joseph Bradley (1813–1892) was an influential U.S. Supreme Court justice whose most important contribution to Fourth Amendment jurisprudence was his majority opinion in Boyd v. United States (1886), which overturned the governmental seizure of thirty-five cases of plate glass after the company that had them in its possession refused to produce an invoice. Bradley was born in New York and educated at Rutgers University before reading law and making a quick assent in the New Jersey bar, where he primarily represented railroads.
