Reviews
These essays add up to a searching reappraisal of the Warren Court. While fully appreciating the great contributions of that Court to fair and equal treatment of America's minorities and pariahs, the authors also look with a clear and critical eye on theCourt's limitations and failures. They challenge the common view that the Warren Court was radically activist, showing that although the Court took the lead on many issues of civil rights and liberties, it worked alongside Congress and the executive andwas cautious in challenging strongly held public opinions, though often nave in failing to foresee how hostile public reactions to its decisions would be. The most original and fascinating chapters look at the reception of the Warren Court's work in foreign countries and legal cultures. Some foreign lawyers saw the Warren Court as a model of what judges should not do, political rather than legal decision-making. But many took inspiration from the Court's work to embolden constitutional review, public-interest law, and the protection of human rights in their own countries. These essays are thoughtful, reflective, and often startlingly novel work of high quality. They are a both a fine introduction to the Warren Court and a fresh source of new insight, This is an unusually fine and unhackneyed collection of essays on the work of the United States Supreme Court during the Earl Warren years, and the significance of that work for society and for the legal order. The chapters on the influence of Warren and his court outside the United States are an unusual and fascinating feature of this collection., These essays add up to a searching reappraisal of the Warren Court.

These essays are thoughtful, reflective, and often startlingly novel work of high quality. They are a both a fine introduction to the Warren Court and a fresh source of new insight, Almost 40 years after Chief Justice Earl Warren retired, the Court that bears his name remains influential. This volume grew from a 2004 conference at Warren's alma mater, the University of California, Berkley; it complements Jim Newton's biography of Warren,Justice for All (2006), and Ed Cray'sChief Justice: A Biography of Earl Warren (1997) by focusing less on Warren than on the Court that he led. Many legal heavy hitters, mostly law professors, contributed to the volume, which features an introduction, 13 chapters, and a brief afterword.
