SUMMARY

The impact and ramifications of cases argued before the Supreme Court are felt for decades, if not centuries. Only the most important issues of the day and the land make it to the nine justices, and the effects of their decisions reach far beyond the litigants. Under discussion here are five of the most momentous Supreme Court cases ever. They include Marbury v. Madison, Roe v. Wade, Dred Scott, Brown v. Board of Education, and The Pentagon Papers. An absorbing exploration of enormously controversial events, the series details, highlights, and clarifies the complex legal arguments of both sides. Placing the cases within their historical context (though they ultimately emerge as "works in progress"), the authors reveal each decision's relevance both to the past and the present. The result is a fascinating glimpse across the centuries into the workings of the Supreme Court and the American judicial system. Highlights and Features - Fascinating, highly relevant Supreme Court cases - Accessible discussion of complex legal theory - Portrait of the American legal system as a "work in progress" - Primary source materialsStefoff, Rebecca is the author of 'Furman V. Georgia ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780761425830 and ISBN 0761425837.
