Morrison Remick Waite, (1816-1888), born in Lyme, Connecticut was the seventh Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, 1874-1888. In 1871, he received an invitation to represent the United States (along with William M. Evarts and Caleb Cushing) as counsel before the Alabama Tribunal at Geneva. In his first national role, he gained acclaim when he won a $15 million award from the Tribunal. The Alabama Claims, arising out of actions by the British during the Civil War, are the subject matter of this pamphlet. .
