Автор: Jr. William C. Canby

Jr. William C. Canby is a distinguished figure in the legal arena, particularly recognized for his contributions to American jurisprudence as a former judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Canby pursued his education at Yale University, earning his Bachelor of Arts in 1953 and later his Juris Doctor from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1956. His career in law has been marked by a blend of academic pursuit and practical application. Before his appointment to the Ninth Circuit by President Jimmy Carter in 1980, Canby was an esteemed professor at Arizona State University College of Law, where he influenced the minds of future legal practitioners and crafted a scholarly legacy. While U.S. v. Croft 124 F.3d 1109 C.A.9 (Or.), 1997, cited as a reference, represents a single case, it is reflective of the hundreds of opinions authored during his tenure on the bench. Canby has demonstrated a thorough commitment to upholding the law, and his written opinions are characterized by clarity and deep legal insight. His impact extends beyond the bench; his academic works continue to shape the understanding of federal Indian law among students and professionals alike. Though his bibliography primarily consists of legal opinions and academic legal articles, his contributions to the field are invaluable.
