This article appears in Volume V17, Page 795 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MARTIN, LUTHER (1748-1826) , American lawyer, was born in New Brunswick, New
Jersey
 , on the 9th of February 1748. He graduated at the college of New
Jersey
  (now Princeton University) at the head of a class of thirty-five in 1766, and immediately afterwards removed to
Maryland
 , teaching at Queenstown in that colony until 1770, and being admitted to the bar in 1771. He practised law for a short time in Virginia, then returned to
Maryland
 , and became recognized as the leader of the Maryland bar and as one of the ablest lawyers in the United States. From 1778 to 1805 he was attorney-general of Maryland; in 1814-1816 he was
chief
  judge of the court of Oyer and Terminer for the city of
Baltimore
 ; and in 1818-1822 he was attorney-general of Maryland. He was one of Maryland's representatives in the Continental Congress in 1784-1785 and in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 at Philadelphia, but opposed the constitution and refused to affix his signature. He subsequently allied himself with the Federalists, and was an opponent of
Thomas
  Jefferson, who in 1807 spoke of him as the "Federal
Bull
 -Dog." His ability was shown in his famous defence of Judge Samuel Chase (q.v.) in the
impeachment
  trial before the United States Senate in 1804-1805, and in his defence of Aaron
Burr (q.v.) against the charge of treason in 1807. He has been character and private life. Sir
Theodore
  Martin died on the 18th of August 1909.
