- catalog abstract ""Through the various articles collected in this volume, Kermit Hall seeks to tell the story of the Supreme Court through the history, justices, and decisions that have shaped democracy in America. Cultivated from a variety of scholarly journals, the essays in this collection represent some of the best writing done about the history, political dynamics, and legal development of the Supreme Court. The articles cover the social controversies that have reached the court, such as Roe v. Wade and the death penalty; several others speak about the justices themselves and how their talent has made a difference in the growth of judicial power; and another group talks about the role of the justices in adjusting American democracy to the pace of social and economic change. Readable and information-filled, The Supreme Court in American Society is a valuable reference for students of law and history alike."--Jacket.".
