Editorial Reviews

Review


"It is a treasure trove of information and insights about the Warren Court and its times as seen by judges, clerks of the Justices, attorneys, journalists, and professors....Especially noteworthy are the 'Personal Remembrance' by Justice William Brennan and essays by Anthony Lewis, David J. Garrow,
Judge Richard Arnold, and Kermit Hall. This book is highly recommended as one of the best available on the Warren Court and its impact on the U.S."--Choice


"The best of these essays remind the reader how important the decisions of the Warren Court were and that it is impossible to understand the Warren Court without reference to its successors....[They] offer thoughtful and rigorous analyses of the Court's decision-making and useful insights into the
approaches to legal analysis that the Justices adopted....[The book's] best chapters...capture what is important and what we should know, and present that material in a clear and effective manner."--The Law and Politics Book Review


"...there is also critical analysis, sometimes heated, in this valuable addition to the literature"--The Supreme Court Historical Society Quarterly

From the Back Cover

A judge-made revolution? The very term seems an oxymoron, yet this is exactly what the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren achieved. In Bernard Schwartz's latest work, based on a conference at the University of Tulsa College of Law, we get the first retrospective on the Warren Court - a detailed analysis of the Court's accomplishments, including original pieces by well-known judges, professors, lawyers, popular writers such as Anthony Lewis, David Halberstam, David J. Garrow, and a rare personal remembrance by Justice William J. Brennan, Jr. The Warren Court: A Retrospective begins with an examination of the Court's decisions in a variety of different fields, such as equal protection, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and criminal law. The work continues with The Justices, an intimate look at the principal protagonists in the Court's operation. Then, in A Broader Perspective, the book looks at the Court from an historical perspective, demonstrating its impact on the legal profession and jurisprudence, its international impact, and its legacy.
