An in-depth analysis of the workings and legacy of the Supreme
Court led by Charles Evans Hughes. Charles Evans Hughes, a man who,
it was said, "looks like God and talks like God," became chief
justice in 1930, a year when more than 1,000 banks closed their
doors. Today the Hughes Court is often remembered as a conservative
bulwark against Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal. But that view,
according to author Michael Parrish, is not accurate. In an era
when Nazi Germany passed the Nuremberg Laws and extinguished
freedom in much of Western Europe, the Hughes Court put the stamp
of constitutional approval on New Deal entitlements, required state
and local governments to bring their laws into conformity with the
federal Bill of Rights, and took the first steps toward developing
a more uniform code of criminal justice. Biographical portraits of
the Hughes Court justices, including Harlan Fiske Stone, Hugo
Black, Felix Frankfurter, and William O. Douglas Extensive analysis
of the major decisions of the Hughes Court, particularly in the
areas of civil liberties and government and the economy
