This insightful book examines the U.S. Supreme Court in a broad historical context, concentrating on the influence of political movements, military and economic developments, the arts and technology on the law and vice versa. Exploring major case law in each period from the Age of Enlightenment and the Civil War to the Watergate Scandal and the present day, James Hart illustrates the role of the Supreme Court in American society. Using historical research to construct a sense of time and place that moves beyond purely legal issues, Hart analyzes major Justices, including John Jay, Robert Jackson and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, against the socio-legal backdrop of each era. Ultimately, the book creates a cohesive picture of how the personalities and perspectives of key Justices affected the Court's jurisprudence and made it what it is today. This fascinating book is a vital resource for students and scholars of American law, constitutional and administrative law, law and society and legal history, and the general public as well. It is also highly beneficial for lawyers and policymakers interested in understanding the U.S. Supreme Court and society.
