| 词组 | chief justice |
| 释义 | chief justice Copperud 1970, 1980 says the proper title is chiefjustice ofthe United States not chiefjustice of the Supreme Court; Harper 1985 says there is a distinction between the terms even though the same judge holds both positions. This has all the appearance of a legal technicality having little or no bearing on the usage of the ordinary person. We find both terms in good use: • ... the nomination of Abe Fortas as Chief Justice of the United States —John Corry, Harper's, December 1968 • The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides over the Senate during the impeachment trial — Stanley E. Dimond & Elmer F. Pflieger, Our American Government, 1961 As a compromise you can roll the two together: • ... to the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States —Lewis Paul Todd et al., Rise of the American Nation, 1961 |
