Editorial Reviews
Review
"Purcell treats Erie with a rigor and depth approached by no other historical account. This book is destined to occupy an important place in the constitutional-historical literature." Clyde Spillenger, UCLA School of Law
Product Description
There is a huge biographical literature about Brandeis, but most of those studies confine themselves to general discussions of his constitutional ideas and certain major doctrinal areas such as substantive due press and the First Amendment. This book considers not only those, but also other less well-known areas, presenting a deeper and more complex view of the development of Brandeis's overall constitutional jurisprudence. Purcell argues that Brandeis's greatness lies in his success in merging his commitment to progressive political policies and principles with the practical and normative demands of wise constitutional judging.
