Earl Warren (1891–1974) was an American jurist and politician who served as Governor of California from 1943 to 1953 before his appointment as Chief Justice of the United States by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. During his tenure, the Warren Court issued several landmark rulings, including Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and Miranda v. Arizona (1966). Warren also chaired the presidential commission investigating the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
