‘James Kent (1763-1847) – James Kent served as an attorney, state legislator, and Chief Justice of the New York State Supreme Court. In 1823, he became the first professor of law at Columbia University. His four-volume Commentaries on American Law (1826) were based on a series of lectures he gave, and they are considered the American counterpart to Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws of England. Kent’s writings became a crucial resource for American legal practitioners and scholars.’ https://www.gsa.gov/fine-arts#/artist/114
