Justice Ezekiel “Zeke” Harper is a fiercely independent voice on the nation's highest court, born and raised in the libertarian academic circles of rural Vermont. The son of two professors who championed autonomy and dissent, Zeke grew up immersed in legal theory and classical philosophy. After earning his PhD in Constitutional Law, he made a name for himself as a bold civil liberties litigator, often defending deeply unpopular clients in cases that tested the boundaries of the First and Fourth Amendments. Though an outsider to political orthodoxy, Zeke's intellect and unwavering principles earned him a surprise nomination to the Supreme Court. His judicial style is marked by razor-sharp concurrences filled with biting wit and existential musing. Zeke has little patience for overreach—whether it comes from government, corporations, or even the judiciary itself—and is known for defending the autonomy of the individual above all. Though once married, his relentless commitment to his ideals and work led to an amicable but firm divorce. Now, he lives a solitary but disciplined life in a Vermont farmhouse, surrounded by shelves of books and quietude. Resilient in the face of criticism from both political extremes, he views the bench not as a seat of power, but as a philosophical and moral crucible. His fear of losing control manifests not in politics, but in the erosion of personal liberties. He reads voraciously and often retreats into long walks through the woods to reflect before issuing an opinion. Justice Harper is not one to be boxed in, and that’s exactly why the nation watches his pen so closely.
