An authoritative survey of the Taft Court, which served from 1921
to 1929, and the impact it had on the U.S. legal system, social
order, economics, and politics. William Howard Taft's experience in
the executive branch gave him a unique perspective on the court's
work. He initiated judicial reform and was the prime mover behind
the Judiciary Act of 1925, which gave the court wide latitude to
accept cases based on their importance to the nation. The Taft
Court decided about 1,600 cases during its nine terms. This book
examines the "aggregate" personality of the court through
discussions of individual voting characteristics, bloc alignments,
and other patterned behavior. It also charts the strengths and
weaknesses of the rulings and demonstrates Taft's penchant for
increasing the impact of decisions by pursuing consensus among the
justices, two of whom were his own appointees when he served as
president. An A-Z set of entries on the people, laws, events, and
concepts that are important to an understanding of the Taft Court A
