In 1959, Turk was elected to the Virginia Senate where he served as minority leader from 1965-1972.  President Richard M. Nixon appointed Turk to a federal judgeship in the Western District of Virginia in 1972.  From 1973-1993, he acted as Chief Judge of the Western District. During these years, he presided over several high profile cases including the 1981 libel case that the Rev. Jerry Falwell brought against Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt. Though he took senior status in 2002, he served the court until his death on July 6, 2014 at his home in Claytor Lake, Virginia.","The James C.

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.

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.

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.
