Jacob Trieber was the first Jew to become a federal judge in the United States, serving from 1900 to 1927 as judge for the U.S. Circuit Court, Eastern District of Arkansas. In that position, he issued nationally important rulings on controversies that included antitrust cases, railroad litigation, prohibition cases, and mail fraud; some of his rulings, such as those promoting civil rights and wildlife conservation, have implications today. His broad interpretation of the constitutional guarantees of the Thirteenth Amendment, originally overturned by the post-Reconstruction U.S. Supreme Court, was validated sixty-five years later in a landmark 1968 equal opportunity case. Chief Justice William H. Taft admired Trieber’s work and was often in contact with him.

This is the very picture that hung in Judge Trieber’s chambers, and is still in the original frame. We obtained this from the Trieber descendants and it has never before been offerred for sale.
