The subpage should either be merged into this article, or moved and disambiguated. Polbot (talk) 21:01, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A new book about Judge Friendly is being published this month: Henry Friendly, Greatest Judge of His Era, by David M. Dorsen (Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, ISBN 978-0674064393). I found it via this review. Both of these would probably be useful in this article. Cheers, CWC 07:04, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm keeping an eye out for the book. Word in the legal community is that it may rival the Learned Hand biography by Gunther among the most important works of scholarship on a federal judge who never served on the Supreme Court. I certainly agree it will be very useful and relevatn for this article. Newyorkbrad (talk) 01:30, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The main article currently says Judge Friendly was "in illegal practice of law in New York City, New York from 1928 to 1959." Is this an error? Dirca palustris (talk) 18:31, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I read the New York Times obituary that is cited for the claim that there were five notes along with him when he died and that two were drawings of childhood characters. They mention three notes including the one to the housekeeper and two unaddressed ones but do not mention the drawings unless I am mistaken. Can someone double check this and remove the reference to the two drawings or provide an alternative citation for it? 151.200.54.198 (talk) 13:04, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:10, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources are reliable. Just one image question:

• File:FRANKFURTER, FELIX. JUSTICE LCCN2016862744 (cropped).jpg has a PD-old-70-1923 tab in addition to the Harris & Ewing tag. I am not an image expert but I don't think this is necessary; see File:James McCauley Landis cph.3b30465.jpg, for example, which you also use.

Spotchecks. Footnote numbers refer to this version.

• FN 97 cites "The departure of a substantial portion of its lawyers caused a serious split in Root, Clark; though the firm was damaged, it left on good terms with the newly formed Cleary, Gottlieb." The NYT article mentions the formation of Cleary, Gottlieb via the exodus from Root, Clark, but doesn't support "a serious split" or "though the firm was damaged, it left on good terms with".
• FN 131 cites "Harvard Law School has a professorship named after Friendly. Paul C. Weiler, a Canadian constitutional law scholar, held it from 1993 to 2006": the link here is broken; can you point me at the correct link?
• FN 84 cites "The firm first assigned him as an assistant to Grenville Clark, a senior partner who had suffered a nervous breakdown, with the intent that Friendly's aid and experience might reinvigorate him. Clark had been a prominent corporate lawyer, a fellow graduate of Harvard Law School, and nominee of the Nobel Peace Prize." I don't see a reference to Friendly on this page.

For these next three, I have no access to the sources, so can you quote the supporting text?

• FN 26 cites "The historian broadened his knowledge of Latin and stressed the need to interpret documents as they were originally understood, a lesson adopted by Friendly when he ascended to the bench years later."
• FN 143 cites "Work engrossed Friendly, and he had a largely estranged relationship with his children, seeing them only during the summer."
• FN 1 cites "After passing the New York bar in 1928, the reputation he developed during his years as an attorney from 1928 to 1959 proved outstanding."

I'm going to stop there; the spotcheck does have to pass for a GA promotion, but it looks as if there are a couple of omissions from the citations unless I'm missing something. Once these are addressed, let me know and I will do another spotcheck. If you think there might be other imprecisions in the citations you might want to do a pass through for yourself before I do another spotcheck.

I've just realized that this is a drive-by nomination: see this note in the instructions. I would have simply removed the nomination if I'd noticed it before starting the review, but since I've left some notes that may be useful to other editors, I'll fail the review instead. LosPajaros, if you want to nominate this again you'll have to post on the article's talk page and get the agreement of the article's main editors.
