In 1871, U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant selected Waite to help settle claims with Great Britain that arose from the American Civil War. Waite's legal skills helped the United States obtain almost $16 million from Great Britain for that nation's support of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Upon returning to the United States, Waite participated in the Ohio Constitutional Convention of 1873 and was selected to be the convention's president. While serving at the Constitutional Convention, Waite received word that President Grant had nominated him to be Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Waite served as chief justice for the next fifteen years.

Terry Waite: Iraq, Guantanamo and Human Rights
No full textLong devoted to humanitarian causes, intercultural relations and cultural resolution, Waite garnered international recognition in the 1980s when he successfully negotiated the release of hostages in Iran and Libya. In 1987, while negotiating the release of hostages in Beirut, Waite himself was taken hostage. In captivity for 1,763 days, four years of which were in solitary confinement, he was beaten, chained to a wall and subject to mock executions. Released from captivity in 1991, Waite now devotes his time to humanitarian efforts around the world. What I have tried to do is take the positive side of the experience of being a hostage and build on it, he says. It has given me increased empathy with those who are victims of warfare or oppression. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the media have frequently called upon Waite for his expertise. He has been featured on national news networks, including CNN and BBC, to discuss the topics of Islamic fundamentalism, the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and numerous hostage situations in Iraq. Waite is the author of Taken on Trust, Travels with a Primate and Footfalls in Memory: Reflections from Solitude
