Description

In this collection, many of Justice Brennan's most distinguished colleagues and observers offer tribute to his far-reaching legacy. Anthony Lewis, Alan Dershowitz, Lani Guinier, Anna Quindlen, David Halberstam, Derrick Bell, and many others - including six Supreme Court justices - describe the opinions and dissents, and struggle and persuasion, that make up Justice Brennan's remarkable career. The sum of these essays is a look at the key issues of our time - civil liberties, race relations, family, privacy, crime, religion, poverty, politics - all of which were impacted by Justice Brennan's presence of the Supreme Court.
