President Harry Truman appointed Tom C. Clark to the US Supreme Court in 1949 to replace Justice Frank Murphy, who died in office. Justice Clark served for 28 years, and retired from the bench on June 12, 1967, to avoid a potential conflict of interest after his son, Ramsey Clark, was appointed US Attorney General. Clark was succeeded by Justice Thurgood Marshall.
