The Supreme Court in United States History is a three-volume
history of the U.S. Supreme Court, detailing its establishment, the
major cases reviewed and decided by the Court, the historical
events surrounding cases and decisions, and the effects that
Supreme Court decisions had on the public. Author Charles Warren
often references newspaper and magazine articles and letters in an
attempt to capture the spirit of the times. Written with one eye on
the Court and one eye on people, The Supreme Court in United States
History was "an attempt to revivify the important cases decided by
the Court and to picture the Court itself from year to year in its
contemporary setting." Volume I describes Supreme Court History
from 1789 to 1821, including the establishment of the first courts
and the circuit, state sovereignty and neutrality, The Mandamus
Case, impeachment and treason, Pennsylvania and Georgia against the
Court, The Bank of the United States, and various Chief Justices
throughout this time period. CHARLES WARREN (1868-1954) was an
American legal historian and lawyer. Warren graduated from Harvard
University and Harvard Law School, and received his Doctorate from
Columbia University. In 1894, he founded the Immigration
Restriction League with fellow Harvard graduates Prescott Hall and
Robert DeCourcy Ward. He authored several legal history books,
including A History of the American Bar, The Supreme Court in
United States History, and The Making of the Constitution, and won
the Pulitzer Prize for History in 1923. Warren was the Assistant
Attorney General from 1914 to 1918 during Woodrow Wilson's
Presidency and drafted the Espionage Act of 1917.
