John Marshall Harlan - Great Dissenter of the Warren Court (Hardcover)

Tinsley Yarbrough, a biographer of Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black, Judge Frank Johnson, and Judge J Waties Waring, is writing the first biography of Supreme Court Justice Harlan. Drawing on a thorough examination of the John Marshall Harlan Papers archive at Princeton, interviews with Harlan's family, clerks, and acquaintances, and inter-chambers memoranda and related archival material, Yarbrough will provide a fascinating portrait of Harlan's life, career and the evolution of his judicial and constitutional philosophy. He will give special attention to Harlan's approach to constitutional issues such as the relationship of the Bill of Rights to states, the nature and scope of freedom of expression, the reach of congressional power over civil rights, the right to privacy, the rights of suspects and defendants, modern trends in equal protection doctrine, and the extent to which private activities are subject to constitutional limitations. Throughout his analysis, Yarbrough will consider the possible connections between Harlan's private life and his jurisprudence.
