In Law in American History, Volume III: 1930-2000, the eminent
legal scholar G. Edward White concludes his sweeping history of law
in America, from the colonial era to the near-present. Picking up
where his previous volume left off, at the end of the 1920s, White
turns his attention to modern developments in both public and
private law. One of his findings is that despite the massive
changes in American society since the New Deal, some of the
landmark constitutional decisions from that period remain salient
today. An illustration is the Court's sweeping interpretation of
the reach of Congress's power under the Commerce Clause in Wickard
v. Filburn (1942), a decision that figured prominently in the
Supreme Court's recent decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act.
In these formative years of modern American jurisprudence, courts
responded to, and affected, the emerging role of the state and
federal governments as regulatory and redistributive institutions
and the growing participation of the United States in world
affairs. They extended their reach into domains they had mostly
ignored: foreign policy, executive power, criminal procedure, and
the rights of speech, sexuality, and voting. Today, the United
States continues to grapple with changing legal issues in each of
those domains. Law in American History, Volume III provides an
authoritative introduction to how modern American jurisprudence
emerged and evolved of the course of the twentieth century, and the
impact of law on every major feature of American life in that
century. White's two preceding volumes and this one constitute a
definitive treatment of the role of law in American history.
