In an initiated article,[2] Rudholm and the constitutional lawyer Nils Stjernquist, describe the Commission's political and judicial complications.
Rudholm kept up the editorial work during the whole of his period as Chancellor of Justice in 1962–1967, and until he became President of Svea Court of Appeal, a position he then held for almost seventeen years, until 1983.
On reaching retirement age, Rudholm was honoured with the prestigious office of Marshal of the Realm, the principal administrator of the Swedish Royal Court.
He succeeded late justice Sture Petrén to Chair No.1 - a seat that during the twentieth century by custom had come to be occupied by lawyers.
His quarter of a century in the Academy offers many examples of his clear style as a free writer, predominantly in public speaking, while his inaugural address on his predecessor justice Sture Petrén witnesses to his care for the language.
