Editorial Reviews

Review

Marion carefully and objectively examines Brennan's opinions and writings . . . Marion reminds the reader of the more sober teaching of the founding generation who relied on a 'government of laws, and not men' for our political salvation. (Rossum, Ralph A. )

Marion presents a respectful yet critical survey and analysis of the thought of Justice William J. Brennan. . . . A welcome antidote to the hagiography so common in discussions of Brennan. . . . Recommended for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. (Choice )

A welcome antidote to the hagiography so common in discussions of Brennan. (J.R. Vile Choice, May 98 )

This review is from: The Jurisprudence of Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. (Paperback)

Dr. Marion, a professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looks at Brennan from an unusual and refreshing perspective. Well worth the read.
