Beskrivning
During the thirty-three years William Rehnquist has been on the Supreme Court, nineteen as Chief Justice, significant developments have defined the American legal landscape. This book is a legal biography of Chief Justice William Rehnquist of the United States Supreme Court and the legacy he created. It is an intensive examination of his thirty-three year legacy as a Supreme Court Justice based on his Court opinions, primarily in the area of constitutional law. It is written by a group of legal scholars each of whom is a specialist in the area covered by his/her chapter. The focus of the book is on Rehnquist's own legacy, not necessarily that of the Court which he headed. Thus emphasis is placed not only on the goals which he achieved, but on those that he failed to achieve.

"Craig M. Bradley's trenchant collection on the judicial opinions of the late chief justice of the United States offers one of the first and most comprehensive overviews since William Hubbs Rehnquist's sudden death from thyroid cancer in September of 2005. A necessarily ambitious and weighty volume (its subject had the fifth longest term on the court, 1972-2005, and the fourth longest stay as Chief, 1986-2005), its contributors are all noted scholars in their respective areas, with one exception from law schools and political science departments. They assay a variety of perspectives on and approaches to their subjects, and unlike much constitutional commentary in these polemical days, write solely to explicate Rehnquist's contribution to American law. In this effort, this book succeeds admirably" - Williamjames Hull Hoffer, Department of History, Seton Hall University, H-NET
