Step-by-step explanation:

After Chief Justice Fred Vinson died in September 1953, Warren became the likely choice as a successor because of his law enforcement experience. ... Warren joined the Court in the midst of some of its most important issues – racial segregation in public schools and the expansion of civil liberties.
