'''David Davis''' (March 9, 1815 – June 26, 1886) was an [[Associate Justice]] of the [[Supreme Court of the United States]] and a senator from [[Illinois]]. On the Court, his most famous opinion was the Court's majority opinion in [[Ex parte Milligan]] - where David condemned then President [[Abraham Lincoln]]'s (who Davis had campaigned for in the election of 1860) establishment of military jurisdiction over civilians in peaceful areas.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://law.jrank.org/pages/5967/Davis-David.html|work=law.jrank|format=HTML|language=English|title=David Davis}}</ref>
