About this product
Product Information
From John Marshall, the greatest Supreme Court Justice, to Alfred Moore, one of the worst, Bernard Schwartz's A Book of Legal Lists--the first ever compiled--provides the Ten Bests and Worsts in American law (and also includes answers to 150 trivia questions about the legal world). Stretching back to the early 1700s, the law and the judges who interpret it have maintained a steady presence in our lives--sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. From disappointments like Plessy v. Ferguson (number two on the Ten Worst Supreme Court Decisions list), which gave the lie to the American ideal "that all men are created equal," to lesser known but no less important decisions such as the 1933 United States v. One Book Called "Ulysses", (number nine on the Ten Greatest Non-Supreme Court Decisions) the landmark First Amendment case that eased the law governing censorship, Bernard Schwartz provides legal experts and non-experts alike with entertaining information in a format that can be found nowhere else.

[Praise for Bernard Schwartz from the 1988 Annual Survey of American Law]: "Professor Bernard Schwartz is well-known to me and other members of the Supreme Court for the extraordinary range of his scholarship in constitutional law. Few law professors have matched his output over the years. Hisfive-volume Commentary on the Constitution and two-volume The Bill of Rights are regularly cited in judicial opinions, including our own. These and his other works reflect meticulous research into original sources, an inquiry that is so essential to a clear understanding of the meaning of theconstitutional provisions that, in assuring the liberty and dignity of every person, distinguish our governmental system from all others. The quality of Professor Schwartz's work is exemplary."--Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., United States Supreme Court, [Praise for Bernard Schwartz from the 1988 Annual Survey of American Law]: "Professor Bernard Schwartz is well-known to me and other members of the Supreme Court for the extraordinary range of his scholarship in constitutional law.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
