Reviews
"Judge Dillon's book fills a gap in the literature; it provides a unique perspective on Jay's life and career, focused on but not limited to his years on the Supreme Court. This is an adept blend of biography and case analysis written from the perspective of an author who is also a judge, resulting in an inherently interesting book." - Walter Stahr, author of John Jay: Founding Father
"...Dillon uses his impressive legal knowledge and detailed historical inquiry skills to examine John Jay's tenure as the first chief justice of the United States Supreme Court ... Legal scholars, constitutional theorists, historians of the early republic, and history enthusiasts should find The First Chief Justice readable, interesting, and useful." - H-Net Reviews (H-History-and-Theory)
