More About This Textbook

Overview

This unique insider's look at the Supreme Court in session includes live recordings and transcripts of actual landmark cases, including Miranda v. Arizona (the right to remain silent), Roe v. Wade (abortion rights), Bowers v. Hardwick (gay rights), Regents v. Bakke (reverse discrimination), Loving v. Virginia (interracial marriage), United States v. Richard Nixon (Watergate), and many others. Previously only available through a visit to the National Archive in Washington, these tapes bring pivotal moments in American legal history to life.

Now available in paperback, this bestselling collection of Supreme Court transcripts presents 23 of the most significant oral arguments made before the court since 1955. Also includes an introduction in which lawyers discuss their historic arguments, background to each of the cases, and excerpt's from the Courts opinions.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
This remarkable book and audiocassette combination has already received much notice, due, ironically, to the legalities involved over the use of archival sources. Network television and National Public Radio have reported on the controversy, which should serve to increase public interest in these recordings of 23 landmark cases argued before the Supreme Court since 1955. Introductory material and other narration is provided by Peter Irons of the Earl Warren Bill of Rights Project of the University of California. Listeners are allowed a glimpse of modern history as never before; the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam, Watergate, and various other seminal social/moral/ethical disputes are played out in succinct, precise arguments. The sound of the actual history-making cases is thrilling. The accompanying hardcover book contains the text of each argument. This is a ``must have'' for law, academic, and large public libraries.-- Reilly Reagan, Putnam Cty. Lib., Cookeville, Tenn.

    Fascinating Experience

    This set is a fascinating experience for the lay-person, lawyer or student. Evocative of Edward R. Murrow's "I Can Hear It Now" collections, it offers us a front row seat to history, recordings of history in the making. The actual voices of some of the most influentual people in our nation's history. Together, the book and the tapes put to rest the notion that the law, or history for that matter, is dull, dry and inaccessible. These decisions that effect our everyday lives are compelling , controversial and compassionate and are recommended for anyone who wonders at the manner in which the Court plays its role in shaping our nation and our lives.Joe M. HayesSomewhere in America
