Clark: A Life of Service","description":"\u003cp\u003e An associate justice on the renowned Warren Court whose landmark ruling in \u003ci\u003eBrown v. Board of Education\u003c\/i\u003e overturned racial segregation in schools and other public facilities, Tom C. Clark was a crusader for justice throughout his long legal career. Among many tributes Clark received, Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger opined that \"no man in the past thirty years has contributed more to the improvement of justice than Tom Clark.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSupreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark\u003c\/i\u003e is the first biography of this important American jurist. Written by his daughter, Mimi Clark Gronlund, and based on interviews with many of Clark's judicial associates, friends, and family, as well as archival research, it offers a well-rounded portrait of a lawyer and judge who dealt with issues that remain in contention today--civil rights, the rights of the accused, school prayer, and censorship\/pornography, among them. Gronlund explores the factors in her father's upbringing and education that helped form his judicial philosophy, then describes how that philosophy shaped his decisions on key issues and cases, including the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, the investigation of war fraud, the Truman administration's loyalty program (an anti-communist effort), the \u003ci\u003eBrown\u003c\/i\u003e decision, \u003ci\u003eMapp v. Ohio\u003c\/i\u003e (protections against unreasonable search and seizure), and \u003ci\u003eAbington v. Schempp\u003c\/i\u003e (which overturned a state law that required reading from the Bible each day in public schools). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mimi Clark Gronlund\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292719914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292719910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"Mimi Clark Gronlund","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913556787455,"sku":"9780292719910","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d210a56f-5c10-48ac-9920-4febdb864a5c.jpg?v=1680621036","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/supreme-court-justice-tom-c-mimi-clark-gronlund-9780292719910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
