This is a volume of original essays with a new poll of legal scholars, lawyers, and judges that independently ranks America's Supreme Court Justices. The editors also offer a dozen case studies by political scientists and historians of the greatest justices. In addition, there is an analysis of Ronald Reagan's appointees, and a chapter on the jurispudence of Lewis Powell, the -godfather- of the emerging center on the Supreme Court. The concluding chapter surveys the ingredients of overall judical leadership, regardless of court level. Henry J. Abraham contributes the preface and additional chapters. A select bibliography and index are also included."
