About
This book explores the pivotal career and judicial
legacy of William Rehnquist (1924-2005). With
the political polarization and controversial cases
swirling around the Supreme Court in recent years,
understanding the development of Rehnquist is
critical to anyone seeking to learn about modern
judicial conservatism and its origins. While the last
several years have marked perhaps the height of
judicial conservatism, the movement's origins lie
with William Rehnquist.
"This fascinating book by a remarkably talented
young scholar provides an illuminating and
engaging history of Justice Rehnquist's entire
intellectual life. A scholarly work but also an
entertaining read, the book is a unique biography
of William Rehnquist as well as a concise history
of the Supreme Court during his time."
