Research Materials (Thomas M. Cooley Biography)
The Research Materials (Thomas M. Cooley) series consists of research into the life and work of Thomas M. Cooley. Cooley, a law professor at the University of Michigan and a Michigan Supreme Court Judge, served as the first head of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The wide ranging research files collected here encompass but are by no means limited to such materials as hand written letters from Cooley's law students at Michigan, notes on newspaper references to Cooley in the late 1800's, a statistical analysis of Michigan Supreme Court decisions of the same period and the first draft of chapters for a biography of Cooley which was never finished.
