Most of these\n            pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n            Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n            biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n            John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n            decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n            University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n            constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n            W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n            had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n            along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n            to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n            for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n            request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n            for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n            were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n            (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n            room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n            of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n            allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n            part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n            opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n            Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n            were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n            volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n            Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n            were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n            February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n            at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n            \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n            W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n            31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n         Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n         United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n         1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n         period)and document his legal career; military service in\n         World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n         professional organizations; and friendships and family\n         relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n         limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n         Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n         Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n         the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n            pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n            library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n            these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n            Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n            publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n            searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n            public access catalog.

He, in turn, sent them to the W\n            \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n            W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n            31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eLewis F.

Powell,\n            Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n            Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n            Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n            facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n            pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n            Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n            biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n            John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n            decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n            University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n            constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n            W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n            had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n            along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n            to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n            for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n            request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n            for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n            were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n            (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n            room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n            of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n            allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n            part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n            opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n            Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n            were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n            volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n            Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n            were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n            February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n            at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n            \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n            W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n            31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n         Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n         United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n         1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n         period)and document his legal career; military service in\n         World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n         professional organizations; and friendships and family\n         relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n         limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n         Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n         Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n         the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n            pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n            library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n            these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n            Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n            publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n            searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n            public access catalog.

Powell,\n            Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n            Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n            Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n            facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n            pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n            Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n            biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n            John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n            decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n            University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n            constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n            W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n            had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n            along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n            to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n            for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n            request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n            for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n            were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n            (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n            room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n            of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n            allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n            part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n            opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n            Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n            were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n            volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n            Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n            were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n            February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n            at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n            \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n            W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n            31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n         Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n         United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n         1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n         period)and document his legal career; military service in\n         World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n         professional organizations; and friendships and family\n         relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n         limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n         Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n         Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n         the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n            pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n            library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n            these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n            Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n            publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n            searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n            public access catalog.

Powell,\n            Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n            Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n            Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n            facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n            pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n            Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n            biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n            John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n            decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n            University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n            constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n            W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n            had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n            along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n            to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n            for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n            request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n            for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n            were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n            (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n            room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n            of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n            allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n            part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n            opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n            Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n            were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n            volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n            Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n            were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n            February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n            at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n            \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n            W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n            31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n         Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n         United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n         1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n         period)and document his legal career; military service in\n         World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n         professional organizations; and friendships and family\n         relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n         limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n         Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n         Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n         the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n            pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n            library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n            these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n            Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n            publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n            searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n            public access catalog.

Following service in the Navy in World War II,\n         he received his A.B. from the University of Richmond\n         in 1948 and his J.D. from the University of Virginia Law\n         School in 1950. Butler married June Nolde in 1950. This union\n         produced four sons: Manley, Henry, James and Marshall.","Butler served as the City of Roanoke Representative in\n         1960-1961. In 1962 he was elected to the Virginia House of\n         Delegates. He was elected Minority Leader in 1966, a position\n         he held until 1972 when he was elected to the 92nd U.S.\n         Congress from the 6th District of Virginia. Butler served the\n         6th District for a decade. While serving on the Judiciary\n         Committee, Butler participated in the impeachment action\n         against President Richard M. Nixon during the summer of 1974.\n         In the aftermath of Nixon's resignation, Butler was involved\n         in the confirmation hearings of Gerald R. Ford and Nelson\n         Rockefeller to serve as President and Vice President\n         respectively. Butler was a principal architect of the\n         Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978.

Powell,\n            Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n            Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n            Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n            facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n            pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n            Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n            biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n            John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n            decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n            University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n            constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n            W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n            had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n            along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n            to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n            for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n            request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n            for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n            were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n            (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n            room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n            of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n            allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n            part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n            opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n            Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n            were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n            volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n            Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n            were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n            February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n            at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n            \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n            W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n            31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n         Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n         United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n         1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n         period)and document his legal career; military service in\n         World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n         professional organizations; and friendships and family\n         relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n         limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n         Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n         Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n         the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n            pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n            library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n            these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n            Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n            publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n            searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n            public access catalog.

Powell,\n            Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n            Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n            Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n            facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n            pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n            Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n            biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n            John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n            decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n            University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n            constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n            W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n            had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n            along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n            to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n            for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n            request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n            for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n            were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n            (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n            room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n            of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n            allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n            part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n            opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n            Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n            were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n            volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n            Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n            were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n            February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n            at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n            \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n            W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n            31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n         Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n         United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n         1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n         period)and document his legal career; military service in\n         World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n         professional organizations; and friendships and family\n         relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n         limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n         Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n         Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n         the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n            pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n            library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n            these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n            Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n            publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n            searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n            public access catalog.

Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eLewis F.

Powell,\n            Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n            Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n            Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n            facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n            pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n            Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n            biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n            John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n            decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n            University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n            constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n            W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n            had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n            along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n            to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n            for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n            request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n            for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n            were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n            (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n            room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n            of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n            allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n            part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n            opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n            Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n            were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n            volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n            Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n            were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n            February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n            at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n            \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n            W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n            31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n         Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n         United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n         1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n         period)and document his legal career; military service in\n         World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n         professional organizations; and friendships and family\n         relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n         limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n         Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n         Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n         the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n            pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n            library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n            these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n            Powell. Powell has annotated several of them. These\n            publications have been cataloged and classified and are\n            searchable through the Washington and Lee University online\n            public access catalog.

Powell,\n            Jr.'s joining the Supreme Court in 1972 were stored in his\n            Hunton \u0026 Williams law firm office in the Electric\n            Building in Richmond, Virginia or in that firm's storage\n            facility known as the Presbyterian Building. Most of these\n            pre-court papers were deposited at the Virginia Historical\n            Society in August 1983.","In 1988, Justice Powell authorized the writing of his\n            biography by University of Virginia (UVA) law professor\n            John C. Jeffries Jr. In December 1989, Powell announced his\n            decision to leave his papers to Washington and Lee\n            University (W \u0026 L) to be housed in a specially\n            constructed facility at the School of Law. Before going to\n            W \u0026 L, however, personal and professional papers, which\n            had been on deposit at the Virginia Historical Society,\n            along with selected Supreme Court files, were transferred\n            to the UVA School of Law's Special Collections department,\n            for use in Professor Jeffries' biography. At Powell's\n            request, the papers were housed there in courtesy storage\n            for four years. Only Jeffries and his research assistants\n            were allowed access to the papers during this period.","Papers from Powell's tenure on the Supreme Court\n            (1972-1987) were stored in his chambers and in a storage\n            room in the court building. In the Spring of 1989, as part\n            of the project mentioned above, Professor Jeffries was\n            allowed to have selected files (which were, for the most\n            part, files of cases in which Powell wrote the Court\n            opinion or a dissenting opinion) shipped to the UVA Law\n            Library. Most of the Court files not chosen by Jeffries\n            were shipped to W \u0026 L on March 4, 1992.","Powell's son, Lewis F. Powell III, located ten bound\n            volumes of his father' s law school notes in a Hunton \u0026\n            Williams storage facility in the late 1980's. These volumes\n            were kept in Lewis III's Hunton \u0026 Williams office until\n            February 1991 when they were shipped to Professor Jeffries\n            at the UVA law school. He, in turn, sent them to the W\n            \u0026 L law school when he had finished with them.","The papers held in courtesy storage at UVA were moved to\n            W \u0026 L in two shipments: September 8, 1992, and August\n            31, 1993. Subsequently some small additions have been\n            mailed from the court to W \u0026 L.","On December 3, 1996, all Powell papers remaining at the\n            Supreme Court were shipped to Washington and Lee School of\n            Law in anticipation of the January 7, 1997 closing of\n            Justice Powell's Supreme Court chambers. This shipment of\n            210 cubic feet of materials included: 110 cubic feet of\n            papers; the Powell chambers' library; fine art;\n            photographs; awards; and artifacts (including Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court bench chair). Most of these papers\n            are from after Powell's 1987 retirement from the Supreme\n            Court and include extensive documentation of Powell's work\n            as an extra judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals.\n            Approximately three feet of these papers came from Justice\n            and Mrs. Powell's Washington apartment. In February 1999,\n            shortly after the chambers closing, a final 16 cu. ft. of\n            materials were transferred from the Supreme Court. Of this\n            accession, 12 ft. were records and the remaining 4 ft. were\n            artifacts.","The papers resided at W \u0026 L School of Law under a\n            deposit agreement with Justice Powell. They were opened to\n            researchers under the terms of this deposit agreement in\n            April 1994. Following the 1998 death of Justice Powell,\n            title to the papers passed to the School of Law by terms of\n            his will.","In May 1999, approximately 35 cu. ft. of books, papers,\n            photographs, and artifacts from Justice Powell's Richmond,\n            Virginia home were transferred to the Powell Archives.\n            Artifacts from Powell's student days at W \u0026 L and from\n            his military service were included in this accession.","The Lewis F. Powell Jr. Papers document the life of this\n         Richmond, Virginia attorney and Associate Justice of the\n         United States Supreme Court. The papers span the years\n         1921-1998(some few items of family history pre-date this\n         period)and document his legal career; military service in\n         World War II; leadership positions in varied civic and\n         professional organizations; and friendships and family\n         relations. Documentation of his work as an attorney is\n         limited, as client files remain with his former law firm,\n         Hunton \u0026 Williams. At one hundred forty two cubic feet,\n         Supreme Court case files, 1972-1987, constitute almost half of\n         the collection.","Published materials, including monographs, serials,\n            pamphlets, periodicals, and reprints from both Justice\n            Powell's Supreme Court Chambers library, and from his home\n            library are stored separately from the papers. Many of\n            these publications bear hand-written author dedications to\n            Powell. Powell has annotated several of them.

Caldwell Butler Papers \n 1945-2006","004","This collection\n         consists of ca. 93 cubic feet of materials.","The Ford medical and financial records are closed.","Manley Caldwell Butler was born June 2, 1925 in Roanoke,\n         Virginia, where he lived most of his life until his death on \n         July 28, 2014. Following service in the Navy in World War II,\n         he received his A.B. from the University of Richmond\n         in 1948 and his J.D. from the University of Virginia Law\n         School in 1950. Butler married June Nolde in 1950. This union\n         produced four sons: Manley, Henry, James and Marshall.","Butler served as the City of Roanoke Representative in\n         1960-1961. In 1962 he was elected to the Virginia House of\n         Delegates. He was elected Minority Leader in 1966, a position\n         he held until 1972 when he was elected to the 92nd U.S.\n         Congress from the 6th District of Virginia. Butler served the\n         6th District for a decade. While serving on the Judiciary\n         Committee, Butler participated in the impeachment action\n         against President Richard M. Nixon during the summer of 1974.\n         In the aftermath of Nixon's resignation, Butler was involved\n         in the confirmation hearings of Gerald R. Ford and Nelson\n         Rockefeller to serve as President and Vice President\n         respectively. Butler was a principal architect of the\n         Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978. He was also a member of the\n         Committee on Government Operations. In retirement, Butler\n         served on the National Bankruptcy Review Commission in the\n         years 1995-1997.","A partner in the firm of Woods, Rogers \u0026 Hazelgrove of\n         Roanoke, Virginia from 1983-1998, Mr. Butler held memberships\n         in the American Bar Association, the Virginia State Bar, the\n         Roanoke Bar Association, the American College of Bankruptcy,\n         the Raven Society, the Order of the Coif, and the Board of\n         Directors of Dominion Bank Shares Corp of Roanoke. He was also\n         a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation and a Director of the\n         American Bankruptcy Institute. His fraternal organization\n         affiliations include Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Kappa Alpha, Omicron\n         Delta Kappa and Phi Gamma Delta.","The \n         M(anley)Caldwell Butler\n         Papers consist of approximately 96 cu. ft. of materials from 1925-2006. Most of the papers cover the periods 1972-1982 and 1995-1997. The papers are divided\n         into seventeen series: June Nolde Butler papers; correspondence and subject files; military service; appointment calendars; campaigns; scrapbooks, clippings and photos; speeches; newsletters, press\n         releases, radio reports and weekly reports; voting record;\n         constituency correspondence; confirmation of Gerald R. Ford as\n         Vice President; impeachment of President\n         Richard M. Nixon; Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978;\n         Legal Services Corporation; re-authorization of the Department of Justice\n         for the Fiscal Year 1982; Voting Rights Act extension; the National Bankruptcy Review\n         Commission, 1995-1997; and Artifacts, 1944-1998. With the exceptions of the first six series and National\n         Bankruptcy Review Commission materials, these papers were\n         generated during Butler's terms as U. S. Representative for\n         the 6th Congressional District of Virginia, 1972 -1982 (93rd\n         Congress - 97th Congress).","The refinement levels of processing are mixed.  The gradual donation of materials over a period \n  of 40 years is chiefly the cause. The Nixon Impeachment and Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 materials \n  are mostly described down to the folder level.  The National Bankruptcy Review Commission materials arrived largely self-arranged. \n  Most other areas of the colleciton, however, are largely unprocessed beyond being sorted into tentative series.","This is particularly true of additions made in 2018 through the estate of Butler's son, James. This has resulted in a temporary \n    box renumbering in boxes 1-7. There is also a box of artifacts added at the end of all of the papers.","There are no restrictions.","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["M.
