Summary
"Warren E. Burger served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from 1969 to 1987, an often tumultuous period in which the Court wrestled with several compelling constitutional issues." "An impressive collection of writings by legal scholars and practitioners, including many by people who worked directly or indirectly with the Court itself. The Burger Court: Counter-Revolution or Confirmation? is the first truly systematic review of the Court's activity during Warren Burger's tenure. Such distinguished contributors as Derrick Bell, Robert Drinan, Anthony Lewis, and Mark Tushnet review individual cases and jurisprudential trends in order to render comprehensive judgments of the Court's accomplishments and shortcomings."--Jacket.
