Abstract
This paper is an examination of the career of John W. Davis as Solicitor General of the United States. Davis was the fifteenth individual to hold this office"*" and is considered by most commentators to be one of the outstanding people to fill the position. One of the chief goals in writing this paper is to emphasize the legal abilities of John W. Davis and the manner in which he used them to fulfill the duties of his office. Hopefully, readers of this paper will no longer think of Davis, if they think of him at all, as "the darkhorse presidential candidate who lost to Coolidge in 1924."
