Reviews

<p> The Supreme Court on Trial by Charles Hyneman, is an extension of a series of lectures presented at the State University of Iowa in 1961. . . . The main theme is clearly and cogently developed. We are told that the Supreme Court as an institution is on trial before the bar of public opinion and that it may not be up to the tasks it has recently taken on itself. The 'trial' is seen as a consequence of the 'new' policy-making role the Court has assumed beginning with the desegregation cases. <p> --S. Sidney Ulmer, The Journal of Politics
