John G. Roberts Jr.
John G. Roberts Jr. is the 17th Chief Justice of the United States, having been appointed by President George W. Bush in 2005. A Harvard Law School graduate, Roberts previously served as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and has been involved in numerous high-profile cases that have shaped American law. His leadership on the Supreme Court has been marked by a focus on judicial restraint and a commitment to upholding the Constitution. In recent discussions about the court's practices, his tenure has been scrutinized for the declining use of summary reversals, a judicial tool that allows the Court to quickly overturn lower court decisions that contradict established precedents.
