Born in Wisconsin, David Bazelon grew up in Chicago and practiced law there. In 1949, President Truman named him to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, often described as the country's most influential court, next to the Supreme Court. At 40, he was the youngest judge ever appointed to that court. From 1962-1978 he served as chief judge, retiring in 1986 as a senior judge.
As noted in The New York Times' February 21, 1993 obituary, Rather than follow precedent set in a simpler time, [Judge Bazelon] questioned the status quo and sought to apply new findings in the social sciences and psychiatry to issues the court faced. Two of his landmark opinions established for the first time the right of a mental patient to appropriate treatment: Rouse v. Cameron, 373 F.2d 451 (D.C. Cir. 1966 and Lake v. Cameron, 364 F.2d 657 (D.C. Cir. 1967), which held that this meant treatment in the least restrictive alternative setting - a mandate made national law more than 20 years later by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
