William Rawle (1759-1836) was an influential American lawyer and a prominent figure in the early legal and political landscape of the United States. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Rawle was educated in law at Middle Temple in London, one of the four Inns of Court, which provided him with a robust foundation in legal principles and practices. Upon returning to America, he quickly established himself as a leading attorney in Philadelphia.

Rawle's legal career was marked by his appointment as the first United States Attorney for the District of Pennsylvania by President George Washington in 1791, a position he held until 1799. In this role, he was responsible for prosecuting federal cases and representing the United States in legal matters within the district. His tenure was noted for its integrity and dedication to the rule of law during the formative years of the American judicial system.

In addition to his legal practice, Rawle was a dedicated public servant and an advocate for education. He was a founder and trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, where he also served as a professor of law. His commitment to legal education extended to his involvement with the American Philosophical Society and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, reflecting his broad intellectual interests and contributions to the cultural and intellectual life of Philadelphia.

Rawle is perhaps best known for his work "A View of the Constitution of the United States of America," published in 1825. This treatise provided a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. Constitution and was widely respected for its clarity and depth. It became a standard reference for legal scholars and practitioners in the 19th century and remains a significant historical document in the study of American constitutional law.

Throughout his life, William Rawle was recognized for his legal acumen, his commitment to public service, and his contributions to the intellectual and cultural fabric of his community. His legacy endures through his writings and the institutions he helped to shape.
