The Taft Court offers the definitive history of the Supreme Court
from 1921 to 1930 when William Howard Taft was Chief Justice. Using
untapped archival material, Robert C. Post engagingly recounts the
ambivalent effort to create a modern American administrative state
out of the institutional innovations of World War I. He shows how
the Court sought to establish authoritative forms of constitutional
interpretation despite the culture wars that enveloped prohibition
and pervasive labor unrest. He explores in great detail how
constitutional law responds to altered circumstances. The work
provides comprehensive portraits of seminal figures such as Oliver
Wendell Holmes Jr. and Louis Dembitz Brandeis. It describes William
Howard Taft's many judicial reforms and his profound alteration of
the role of Chief Justice. A critical and timely contribution, The
Taft Court sheds light on jurisprudential debates that are just as
relevant today as they were a century ago.
