[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 lawFew law professors have matched his output over the years. His five-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 the constitutional 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 "The lists themselves are interesting and thought-provoking, but the real strength of the book lies in short annotations that present readable, concise, and authoritative background for each item. The book is capped off with a challenging list of 150 legal trivia questions.... Highly recommended."--Library Journal
Bernard Schwartz, the Chapman Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Tulsa, has written the definitive judicial biography of Chief Justice Earl Warren, as well as many other books on the Supreme Court, including Decision: How the Supreme Court Decides Cases, A History of the Supreme Court, The Reins of Power, and The Unpublished Opinions of the Rehnquist Court.
