Like Uncle, Like Nephew


When Justice David J. Brewer joined the Supreme Court in 1890, there was a familiar face among the sitting Justices—his uncle, Justice Stephen J. Field, who was the brother of Brewer’s mother, Emilia. Both men had also begun their legal careers working for another Field sibling, prominent attorney David Dudley Field. Ultimately, uncle and nephew would serve together for seven years before Justice Field’s retirement in 1897. This instance remains the only time when family members served simultaneously on the Court.
