Jesse W. Carter served as a justice on the California Supreme Court from 1939-1959, where he was known as “The Lone Dissenter” because he wrote so many solo dissents. Here we have archived the cases where he wrote either the opinion of the court or a dissenting opinion. Many of our faculty members contributed chapters to the book, "The Great Dissents of the "Lone Dissenter" Justice Jesse W. Carter's Twenty Tumultuous Years on the California Supreme Court," where they expound on some of his more famous dissents.
