Ohio circuit court judge. State supreme court judge. A stern conservative, he held that it was the duty of courts to declare void all acts of state legislature which were non-governmental in nature even though not forbidden by constitutional provision.

Judge Shauck graduated from Otterbein in 1864, served in the Union Army, graduated from Michigan Law School, practiced law in Kansas City, and came to Dayton to practice with Samuel Boltin in 1868.

In 1884 a constitutional amendment divided Ohio into eight judicial circuits, and Shauck became one of the first judges of the new Second Circuit Court.

It was a stepping stone to a long and productive career on the Ohio Supreme Court. One of his first rulings on the Supreme Court established a constitutional landmark that stemmed a tide of Ohio legislation enacted for local political partisan purposes while enjoying status as general laws.
