They remind us that interest in the court as not just a legal but a political and cultural entity has been prodigious. No other court has attracted anything approaching the scholarly attention on the so-called "Marble Palace" in Washington, D.C. Biographers, such as Bernard Schwartz and G. Edward White, remind us that talent on the high bench has made a difference in the growth of judicial power and in adjusting the Constitution to fit emerging social realities.<br>The essays in this landmark collection deal with the social controversies that have reached the Court and the ways in which the justices attempted to deal with them and the results of their doing so.<br><i>The</i> <i>Supreme Court in American Society </i> serves as a powerful reminder of how important the Court has been to American life, how central a role it has played in interpreting the rule of lawagainst a constantly evolving social order, and how much it has mirrored the controversies, debates, and political struggles of American History.</P> 1023662 19 12 2000 The Supreme Court in American Society Reader: Equal Justice Under Law 0 0 1 0 1037315 0815337574 9780815337577 0 0 0.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180412751m/1037315.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1037315.The_Supreme_Court_in_American_Society_Reader_Equal_Justice_Under_Law 0 0 false Sun Mar 09 08:19:19 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 09 08:19:19 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1037315
