Description
Editor O'Brien (law, U. of Virginia) has expanded the third edition of this collection of judge's speeches and writings to include new and revised introductory essays and a more contemporary survey of such noted jurists as Jerome Frank, Benjamin N. Cardozo, D. Brock Hornby and Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. Written for those who wish to "de-mystify" the way courtrooms operate, these essays illuminate "the dynamics of the judicial process" by providing insights into advice and consent, the role of oral argument, the Constitution as a living document, judicial restraint and statutory interpretation. Appendices include Article III of the US Constitution, a selection from Hamilton's The Federalist and a time chart of the members of the Supreme Court.
