"well-written and thought provoking...very accessible to a lay
public"--Law and Politics Book Review
"This great collection of pieces by distinguished scholars and
writers affords a unique opportunity to gain in depth knowledge
into the work of the Court since 1986 when William H. Rehnquist
became Chief Justice. The reader will gain insight into Rehnquist's
leadership and may follow the path of the Court during this period
when it has opted to play a smaller role in the lives of our
people. Anyone who has an interest in the Court and in the impact
of its
decisions will enjoy and treasure this book." --William G. Paul,
Past President of the American Bar Association
"If journalism is the first draft of history, this book is the
second: an insightful retrospective on the Rehnquist Supreme Court
while it is still in operation. All the themes are fresh as today's
headlines: affirmative action, church and state, federalism. When
the sun does set on the Rehnquist Court, this book will be the road
map for evaluating its place in Supreme Court history." --Tony
Mauro, Supreme Court correspondent, Legal Times
"A valuable collection of essays by distinguished academics,
judges, and practitioners documenting how the Rehnquist Court has
wrought dramatic changes in constitutional jurisprudence." --John
E. Sexton, Dean, Benjamin F. Butler Professor, New York University
School of Law
"The sheer diversity of the contributors and the breadth of their
coverage makes The Rehnquist Court a must-have. Distinguished legal
academics, both supporters and detractors of the Court's work
during the last fifteen years, are represented, as are the multiple
perspectives of jurists, practitioners, historians, and
journalists. The result is a unique, three-dimensional view of an
institution in action, affected by history, politics, and
personal
dynamics, in addition to precedent. Belsky's collection, of great
interest to both law students and legal academics, also should
intrigue Court watchers, history buffs with an eye to the legal
efforts to confront
social problems during the last generation, and others just curious
to understand how this most nuanced of institutions--the Supreme
Court--really functions." --Stanley Ingber, Professor of Law, John
Jay College of Criminal Justice
