Professor Dickson has used the conference notes of Justices Brennan, Burton, Clark, Douglas, and to a lesser degree Frankfurter and Jackson to compile a list of conference notes for more than two hundred landmark cases from 1945- 1985. He has transcribed and heavily annotated notes to make them more accessible and meaningful to readers. The project draws out some of the patterns, tendencies, and personalities of the conference and answers some of the questions long asked about the Court: Do the Justices bargain with each other for votes? How do Chief Justices manipulate the conference and control opinion assignments? Do Justices come into the conference with their minds already made up? Who takes a leadership role in conference and with which cases? Who are the crucial swing votes?
A sinister case of deadly poisoned chocolates from Sodbury Cross's
high street shop haunts the group of friends and relatives
assembled at Bellegarde, among the orchards of 'peach-fancier'
Marcus Chesney. To prove a point about how the sweets could have
been poisoned under the nose of the shopkeeper, Chesney stages an
elaborate memory game to test whether any of his guests can see
beyond their 'black spectacles'; that is, to see the truth without
assumptions as witnesses. During the test - which is also being
filmed - Chesney is murdered by his accomplice, dressed head to toe
in an 'invisible man' disguise. The keen wits of Dr Gideon Fell are
called for to crack this brazen and bizarre murder committed in
full view of an audience. Also known by its US title The Problem of
the Green Capsule, this classic novel is widely regarded as one of
John Dickson Carr's masterpieces and remains among the greatest
impossible crime mysteries of all time.
