George H Gadbois, Jr was a veteran scholar of the Indian Supreme Court; his contributions are immense and enduring. He was the first to study the Court jurimetrically (Gadbois 1981), and also began the tradition of scholarly bioanalysis of the Court (Gadbois 2011). Vikram Raghavan has done a great service to the world of constitutional law by persuading Gadbois to have this work published (Raghavan and Ram 2017) and I was pleased to commend the publication of this first work by Gadbois his 1961 master’s thesis at Duke University, in political science to Oxford University Press. Gadbois had expressed a reluctance to do so and it is a source of joy that he allowed himself to be overruled.
