Charles Lee was famed Civil War General Robert E. Lee’s uncle, and the first of the Lee family to settle in Alexandria, in 1762. Lee served as U.S. Attorney General from 1795 to 1801, and represented the winning plaintiffs in the seminal Supreme Court case of Marbury v. Madison in 1803. In that case, the Supreme Court established “judicial review,” its singular power to review the constitutionality of government officials’ actions.
