Justice White also visited the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago in a sweep of moot court judging engagments. JUSTICE BYRON WHITE, APRIL 9, 1982 ALGER HISS, APRIL 7, 1982 Alger Hiss, a former State Department official, temporary Secretary-General of the United Nations, and United States Supreme Court Clerk to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., was convicted of perjury in the 1950’s after a former Time editor accused him of passing along State Department documents to the Communist Party. One of the leading prosecuters in his case was then-U.S. Representative Richard Nixon. Mr. Hiss conducted two seminars at the law school, the first on his experiences as Justice Holmes' sole clerk and on Justice Holmes' contributions to the legal system, and the second on whether McCarthyism is possible again in the foreseeable future.
