A History of the Supreme Court

With impeccable scholarship and in an engaging, clear style, Schwartz tells the story of the justices and their jurisprudence--and the influence the Court has had on American politics and society, from its first convention in 1790 to the impact that it makes today.

Bernard Schwartz is Chapman Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tulsa, and is the author of forty books on the law and the history of the Supreme Court.
