Sixteen historians analyze Supreme Court decisions. "The cases covered here, ranging from the time of Chief Justice John Marshall to Chief Justice Earl Warren, dramatize how the Supreme Court, in casual and unplanned fashion, has increased its power until today its influence affects every aspect of American life. Civil rights cases, from Dred Scott through the school desegregatin case, are highlighted."
