Available in paperback for the first time since the 1970s, this
totally revised and updated classic is the most comprehensive and
accessible history of the first 108 members of the U.S. Supreme
Court ever written. Henry J. Abraham, one of the nation's
preeminent scholars of the judicial branch, addresses the vital
questions of why individual justices were nominated to the highest
court, how their nominations were received by legislators of the
day, whether the appointees ultimately lived up to the expectations
of the American public, and the legacy of their jurisprudence on
the development of American law and society. Abraham's insights
into the history of the Supreme Court are unrivaled by other
studies of the subject, and among his numerous observations is that
fully one-fifth of its members were viewed as failures by the
presidents who appointed them. Enhanced by photographs of every
justice from 1789 to 1999, Abraham's eloquent writing and
meticulous research guarantee that this book will interest both
general readers and scholars.
