John Blair Jr. was born in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA. He was an American Founding Father and associate justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1789-1795 (nominated by George Washington). He earned a BA degree from the College of William & Mary in 1754. In 1755, he went to London to study law at the Middle Temple. A famous legal scholar, he avoided the tumult of state politics, preferring to work behind the scenes. But he was devoted to the idea of a permanent union of the newly independent states and loyally supported fellow Virginians James Madison and George Washington at the Constitutional Convention. His greatest contribution as a Founding Father came not in Philadelphia, but later as a judge on the Virginia court of appeals and on the U.S. Supreme Court, where he influenced the interpretation of the Constitution in a number of important decisions.
