abstract
| - Earl Warren (March 19, 1891-July 9, 1974) was the 14th Chief Justice of the United States and the first person elected thrice as Governor of California. Prior to holding these positions, Warren served as a California district attorney for Alameda County and Attorney General of California. In 1948 he was the Republican Party's nominee for the office of Vice President of the United States, but Warren and his running mate, Thomas Dewey, lost the election to Democrats Harry Truman and Alben Barkley by a fairly narrow margin. His tenure as Chief Justice saw the issuing of several critical rulings that shaped American law and society, including four landmark decisions: Brown v. Board of Education (1954), Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), Reynolds v. Sims (1964), and Miranda v. Arizona (1966). Warren also led a commission that investigated the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, reaching the controversial conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
