[2] When the unit arrived at Keesler they were driven past the barracks to what Green would later describe as "a tent city.

"[2] It was then that Green "realized for real that I was really in a segregated army, and there was always, as long as I was in the service, two standards, one quite unacceptable and the other as acceptable as could be considering the fact that the country was at war.

[2] He competed on a moot court team which won the Philadelphia regional of the American Bar Association competition.

[2] In January 1952, after being admitted to the bar, Green took over the practice of Thomas Reed, a black Philadelphia lawyer who was joining the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office under Richardson Dilworth (Green had also interviewed at the DA's office, but decided that he "couldn't fit in as a prosecutor").

[7] The firm, which never numbered more than a dozen lawyers at a given time, produced four federal judges; Higginbotham, Green, and Herbert Hutton all served on the District Court (Higginbotham was later elevated to the Third Circuit), and William Hall was the first African American appointed as a federal magistrate judge.

[7] In addition, two members of the firm, Dorris Harris and Harvey Schmidt, were elected judges of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, and William Brown was appointed by President Nixon to be chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

[6] Additionally, Green represented parties both before and after the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education in an attempt to integrate both the student and teacher populations in area school districts.

[6] In addition to representing the Director, Green was also responsible for approving all claims for compensation under the occupational disease statute whenever the Commonwealth was involved.

[6] In 1962 Green joined with a group of Republican ward leaders who broke off from the main party, which was led by Sheriff Austin Meehan, to support Governor William Scranton.

[2] All of the other ward leaders were voted out of office, and although Green retained his position Sheriff Meehan told him that he would no longer support his appointment to the bench.

[2] Segal was appointed by Governor Scranton to head a merit commission to select nominees for the state court positions.

"[1] Judge Green presided over a number of notable cases during his 35-year tenure on the Eastern District.

[14] The case was credited with helping to abolish racism in the hiring of troopers, and integrate the State Police.

[15] In 1981 Judge Green threw out the fraud conviction of Pennsylvania State Senator Vincent Fumo,[16] concluding that the government had failed to prove that Fumo and two others were involved in a single scheme to pad state payrolls with ghost workers as alleged in their indictment.

[18] The Philadelphia chapter of the Judicial Council of the National Bar Association is named in Judge Green's honor.

The Criminal Law Committee of the Federal Bar Association's Philadelphia Chapter gives a Clifford Scott Green Bill of Rights Award at its biennial dinner event.
