The Supreme Court has been the site of some of the great debates of
American history, from child labor and prayer in the schools, to
busing and abortion. The Oxford Guide to United States Supreme
Court Decisions offers lively and insightful accounts of the most
important cases ever argued before the Court, from Marbury v.
Madison and Scott v. Sandford (the Dred Scott decision) to Brown v.
Board of Education and Roe v. Wade.
This new edition of the Guide contains more than 450 entries on
major Supreme Court cases, including 53 new entries on the latest
landmark rulings. Among the new entries are Bush v. Gore, Nixon v.
United States, Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood Federation of
America, and Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional
Rights. Four decisions--Hamdi v. Bush, Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, Rasu v.
Bush, and Rumsfeld v. Padilla--are considered in a single essay
entitled "Enemy Combatant Cases." Arranged alphabetically and
written by eminent legal scholars, each entry provides the United
States Reports citation, the date the case was argued and decided,
the vote of the Justices, who wrote the opinion for the Court, who
concurred, and who dissented. More important, the entries feature
an informative account of the particulars of the case, the legal
and social background, the reasoning behind the Court's decision,
and the case's impact on American society. For this edition, Ely
has added an extensive Further Reading section and revised the Case
Index and Topical Index. The Guide also features the Constitution
of the United States, an appendix on the Justices, and a legal
glossary.
For anyone interested in the great controversies of our time, this
invaluable book is a mustread--a primer on the epic constitutional
battles that have informed American life.
