Beskrivning

In this eloquent and cogent book, noted constitutional scholar Joseph Goldstein argues that the Supreme Court's central obligation is to address itself to the American people from whom it derives its constitutional authority. Yet, he points out, the Court repeatedly fails to make its opinions clear, even to legal professionals and scholars.

Recensioner i media

`I responded most favourably to the fresh air one breathes while reading the manuscript...In addition to constitutional law scholars, I think that it would appeal to those law schools who study jurisprudence, and also those whose interests are in law and humanities more generally. Outside of law schools, political scientists are a possible audience, but I think that those who study 'communications' or 'rhetoric' would be even more interested. Last of all, I think this book might well be read by that mythical beast, the common reader.' Robert Nagel, University of Colorado
