The Burger Court: Justices, Rulings, and Legacy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781576071793)

A valuable analysis of the political environment, judicial records, and implications of rulings during the era of the Burger Court.

The Burger Court delivered significant decisions in cases involving the separation of powers, equal protection, free speech, and civil liberties. The Burger Court guaranteed in Roe v. Wade a woman's right to an abortion, demonstrating that this court definitely had a mind of its own. This handbook is as suitable for the preparation of term papers and debates as it is for ready reference and more involved research.
