When Richard Nixon campaigned for the presidency in 1968, he promised to change the Supreme Courtroom. With four consultations to the courtroom, including Warren E. Burger as the principle justice, he does just that. In 1969 the Burger Courtroom succeeded the famously liberal Warren Courtroom, which possessed significantly extended civil liberties and was despised by conservatives across the country. The Burger Courtroom is often described as a "transitional" courtroom between the Warren Courtroom and the Rehnquist and Roberts Courts, a courtroom where little of importance occurred. But as this "landmark new book" (The Christian Science Keep an eye on) shows, the Burger Courtroom veered well to the right in such areas as legal law, race, and corporate ability. Creators Michael J. Graetz and Linda Greenhouse excavate the roots of the very most significant Burger Courtroom decisions and in "elegant, illuminating quarrels" (The Washington Post) show how their legacy influences us today.
