Biographical Note

J.P. Coleman was born on 9 January 1914 to Thomas A. and Jennie Worrell Coleman who owned a 120 acre farm near Fentress in Choctaw County, Mississippi. He attended a local county school before graduating from Ackerman High School in 1931. As a young boy, Coleman enjoyed hearing political speeches: "That was, to me, extremely thrilling and interesting…I have known since I was 10 years old that nothing would suit me but to be a lawyer." After graduation, Coleman worked for a year before enrolling at the University of Mississippi, where he washed dishes, waited on tables, and swept floors to pay for expenses.

After two years, Coleman moved to Washington, DC and joined the staff of U.S. Representative Aaron Ford of Mississippi. At the time, Lyndon B. Johnson served on the staff of U.S. Representative Dick Kleberg of Texas and dominated the Little Congress, an organization of congressional aides. Coleman triumphed in a 1935 leadership contest against Johnson's handpicked candidate and earned the future president's lifelong respect and friendship. Also during this period, Coleman married Margaret Dennis and attended George Washington Law School. In 1937, he passed the Mississippi Bar but remained enrolled in school until completing his degree in 1939.

That year, Coleman returned home to open his law practice in Ackerman, and voters soon elected him District Attorney for a seven-county Fifth Circuit of Mississippi. In 1946, he won a race to become circuit judge. "That was the best job I've ever had," he stated. "I got more satisfaction personally out of being a circuit judge. I was here where I knew everybody. But I knew at that age that I couldn't spend the rest of my life as a circuit judge."

In 1950, Coleman became the youngest member of the Mississippi Supreme Court. However, three months into his new position, Governor Fielding Wright asked Coleman to accept the post of state attorney general. Initially, the young justice balked, but a call from his friend U.S. Senator John Stennis convinced him that taking the job would advance his chances for becoming governor one day. Coleman played an active role policing gambling on the Gulf Coast and acquired the nicknames "Constable Coleman" and "Dick Tracy Coleman." His stance on law enforcement paid off in the 1955 gubernatorial race.

In the Democratic primary, Coleman faced off against Paul B. Johnson Jr., Mary Cain, Fielding Wright, and Ross Barnett. A year earlier, the Supreme Court had issued its Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka ruling on the unconstitutionality of segregation in public schools. A leading issue of the campaign, Coleman promised to prevent integration. The "Choctaw County Plowboy" won the nomination carrying 66 of 82 counties in a runoff and later triumphed in the state election.

At the time Coleman was viewed as a "moderate" segregationist -- one who utilized legal methods to preserve racial separation while disavowing extremist rhetoric or tactics. During his tenure, the legislature passed a resolution of interposition authorizing the state to obstruct implementation of the Brown decision. Although Coleman described the theory of interposition as "legal poppycock," he did sign the measure. The legislature also created the State Sovereignty Commission to oversee this mandate, making the governor its chairman. However, Coleman vetoed a law which sought to hinder federal civil rights investigations, and he prevented efforts to outlaw the NAACP. As governor, he also donated state property for an integrated federal veterans hospital.

Having campaigned on the issue of economic development, Coleman continued the Balance Agriculture with Industry program started by his predecessor. During his administration, the state issued $50 million in bonds to attract industry, garnering 35,000 new jobs. Coleman also worked with Alabama Governor James E. Folsom and legislators in both states to develop plans for the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway linking those two rivers to the Gulf of Mexico.

The Mississippi legislature defeated Coleman's efforts to convene a state convention for creating a new constitution more in line with modern society. In 1984, he remarked that "My regret of a lifetime has to be the failure to get a constitutional convention in 1957….That represented an opportunity to show the world Mississippi was liberating itself from that part of the past we should no longer be chained to." Coleman proved more successful in his promotion of the Old Capitol's restoration and transformation into a state historical museum. At the end of his administration, Coleman boasted a $35 million surplus in the state treasury.

Prevented by state law from serving two successive terms, Coleman became Choctaw County's representative in the Mississippi House for four years. He is the only Mississippian to have served in all three branches of the state government. In 1963, Coleman sought the post of governor again. This time, Paul B. Johnson Jr. won, largely by drawing voters' attention to Coleman's friendship with the unpopular John F. Kennedy. Coleman had supported the Democratic National Party's presidential nominees in both the 1956 and 1960 elections, angering those whites who opposed the national party's civil rights platform. President Kennedy later offered him an appointment as Secretary of the Army and ambassador to Australia, but the Mississippi politician declined both posts.

Soon after losing the 1963 election, the Mississippi members of the U.S. House of Representatives hired Coleman as legal counsel to represent them in a suit filed by the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. The plaintiffs sought to bar the members from public office on the grounds that their elections were illegal due to civil rights violations at the polls. The Mississippi delegation eventually took their seats, and Coleman later reflected "I assume that's the most important case I've ever handled in my career as a lawyer."

At the urging of senators James O. Eastland and John C. Stennis, President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated his old Little Congress adversary and friend to the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in June 1965. Opposed by civil rights groups during the confirmation process, Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach defended Coleman by emphasizing his insistence upon rule of law. The senate confirmed his appointment sixty-six to eight on 26 July 1965.

Coleman served on the Fifth Circuit bench for nineteen years. During that period, he ascribed to color-blind, narrow constitutionalist interpretations that favored law enforcement against direct-action protest, supported local control of school operations, and restricted claims based upon employment discrimination and voting rights. In Connor v. Johnson, Coleman was part of a District Court panel which rejected a Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party challenge to the legislature's 1966 reapportionment plan eliminating all majority black districts within the state. The Supreme Court upheld the decision because it closely followed a 1964 Supreme Court ruling requiring redrawn districts to demonstrate equitable population percentages.

In the ongoing debate over the realignment of the Fifth Circuit, Coleman maintained the view that a congested docket necessitated the need for two smaller courts and that Mississippi should remain in a court composed of southern states east of the Mississippi River. Meantime, Coleman became Chief Judge of the Fifth Circuit in 1979 and assumed the post's administrative responsibilities. In the Spring of 1980, he relented to proposals for realignment that placed the Magnolia State in a western division retaining the designation "Fifth Circuit" while the eastern division became the new "Eleventh Circuit." Later that fall, Congress passed the necessary legislation to make the court reorganization effective on 1 October 1981.

In February of 1981, Coleman announced that he was stepping down as Chief Judge. Three months later, he assumed senior status, a step that lightened his case load and allowed more time to pursue an interest in historical research. In 1982, Coleman considered requests by friends to run the following year for a second term as Mississippi governor, but ultimately announced his decision to refrain from entering the race. In 1984, the judge finally retired from the bench to practice law with his son, Thomas Coleman.

In 1985, Governor Bill Allain appointed Coleman to head a 350-member citizens committee that called for a new state constitutional convention, but the effort failed in the legislature.

Coleman was the author of several genealogical and historical works and served as president of the Mississippi Historical Society in 1971. From 1966 to 1975 and then from 1987 to 1991, he was a board member of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.

Judge J.P. Coleman died on 28 September 1991 of complications from a stroke the previous year. His body lay in state in the Old Capitol rotunda before burial in Ackerman's Enon Cemetary. A state park near Iuka is named in his honor.

Scope and Content Note

The J.P. Coleman Collection consists primarily of 4,256 case files from his tenure on the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals between 1965 and 1984. These appear in boxes 1 through 73. Although the contents may duplicate in part the official court records of the cases (such as motions, briefs, and opinions), these chambers papers represent the private files of a single judge. Case files can provide valuable insight into court deliberations and the internal workings of the judiciary since they may include material created prior to the issuance of a judicial decision, such as case notes, draft memoranda and opinions, correspondence with colleagues, and research. "Poll files" recording bench votes on hearing selected cases appear in box 73.

The collection preserves the integrity of Judge Coleman's original file names and arrangement for case files. Labels for individual boxes are original as well, providing information on whether contents are en banc or three-judge panel cases. Research by the Fifth Circuit Court Library suggests that cases are filed by dates of oral argument, not by the decision date. Since the container list is quite lengthy, researchers seeking a specific known case file may wish to conduct a “find” search using keywords from the case name. Archives staff provided additional descriptive information in brackets regarding case subjects and decision dates for those scholars interested in a particular time period or type of case.

Boxes 74 through 79 hold administrative and professional files that document the operations of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and include general subject files on various judicial and legal topics. These files preserve the original file names but were arranged in alphabetical order by the archive.
