Dr. Burt provides an excellent study of the evolving functions of the Supreme Court. His work carries the reader from the inceptions of the Court through Roe , Brown III and the surfeit of cases concerning the death penalty issue and abortion. His research illustrates a wide knowledge of source materials dealing with the evolution of the Court. Documentation was gathered from various disciplines to support his contentions concerning the conflicts within the Court. Most illuminating is the colection of annotated footnotes that offer supportive information in a way that does not interrupt the flow of the narrative...It is an excellent tome worthy of several readings. -- Arthur K. Steinberg Presidential Studies Quarterly
