McLean, John (1785-1861)

US jurist. As a Supreme Court justice from 1829, he was an outspoken advocate of the abolition of slavery, writing a passionate dissent in the Dred Scott Decision 1857.

McLean was born in Morris County, New Jersey, studied law in Cincinnati and became a barrister 1807. After editing a local newspaper, he served in the US Congress 1813-16 and as a judge on the Ohio Supreme Court 1816-22. Appointed postmaster general by President James Monroe 1823, McLean reorganized the post office department, eliminating much corruption and waste. In 1829 he was appointed to the US Supreme Court by President Andrew Jackson.
