These insightful and witty discussions of some of today's thoughest legal issues provide an insider's view of the court's role in constitutional interpretation.-ChoiceThe Unpredictable Constitution brings together a distinguished group of U.S. Supreme Court Justices and U.S. Court of Appeals Judges, who are some of our most prominent legal scholars, to discuss an array of topics on civil liberties.In thoughtful and incisive essays, the authors draw on decades of experience to examine such wide-ranging issues as how legal error should be handled, the death penalty, reasonable doubt, racism in American and South African courts, women and the constitution, and government benefits.Contributors: Richard S. Arnold, Martha Craig Daughtry, Harry T. Edwards, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Betty B. Fletcher, A. Leon Higginbotham, Jr., Lord Irvine of Lairg, Jon O. Newman, Sandra Day O'Connor, Richard A. Posner, Stephen Reinhardt, and Patricia M. Wald.
Industry Reviews
A fascinating, sophisticated glimpse into the minds of appellate judgesthe judges who will encourage or oppose possible changes in our 'unpredictable constitution.' Norman Dorsen, one of the nation's leading scholars on individual rights (as well as a successful Supreme Court advocate and long an effective President of the ACLU), has edited this volume to illustrate how judges view their tasks. The differences among them assure a gripping as well as illuminating read, especially when the nation, with a new Administration, awaits changes in judicial personnel and their impact on judicial decision making.--Gerald Gunther, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law, Emeritus, Stanford Law School
