Schwartz, Bernard

A History of the Supreme Court

New York: Oxford University Press, 1993. Fourth Printing. 465, notes, bibliography, list of cases, index, highlighting on a few pages, DJ flap creased. The early Supreme Court, which first convened in 1790, was so ill-esteemed that its justices frequently resigned in favor of other pursuits. In this fascinating book, a renowned legal scholar--winner of the ABA's Silver Gavel Award--gives a marvelously readable account of our nation's highest court. Condition: good, very good.
