Arthur Goldberg

1908–1990 · Supreme Court seat #94 · 1962–1965 · IL

Arthur Goldberg resigned from the Court after less than three years, persuaded by President Johnson to become U.N. Ambassador — a decision he reportedly came to regret, having given up a lifetime seat for a role he held only a few years.
