Kotaro Tanaka (1890 1974) was a Japanese jurist, professor of law and politician who served as the last Minister of Education of the Empire of Japan and the second postwar Chief Justice of Japan. He graduated from Tokyo Imperial University, Law Department, and also studied law in the United States and Europe. He became Dean of the Faculty of Law at Tokyo Imperial University in 1937. He became Minister of Education in the first Yoshida Cabinet at the end of the Pacific War. He served and as an advisor to the Emperor and as a member of the House of Councillors. After resigning from that position he was appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Japan. Serving for almost the entire decade of the 1950s, Tanaka's long tenure allowed him to be more aggressive with respect to judicial review than most Japanese chief justices. As such, Tanaka did not hesitate to make political statements through his decisions. He retired from the Court in 1960 and was then appointed to the International Court of Justice at The Hague. Tanaka, a disciple of Uchimura, converted to Catholicism during the 1920s and was an advocate of the principles of Natural Law throughout his legal career. Francis Xavier Dwyer (1902 - 1987) received a B. A. From Harvard University in 1923 and an M. A. The following year. After obtaining a law degree from Northweastern University, Dwyer returned to Harvard where he was a librarian at the Law Library from 1931 until 1941. Subsequently, he spent decades as a librarian at the Law Library of Library of Congress. Roscoe Pound was Dwyer's mentor and colleague for many years both at Harvard Law Library and the Library of Congress Law Library. Dwyer was co-author of a widely used textbook: "Introduction to the Study of Law, " by Edmund M. Morgan and Francis X. Dwyer.; Signed by Author.
