For twenty years he served as the leading justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. He was appointed by President Grover Cleveland to serve on the Interstate Commerce Commission, where he was the leading commissioner and set several important precedents for administrative process. He taught at Johns Hopkins University and was dean of the University of Michigan Law School.
