Résumé
Domnarski is a practicing intellectual property attorney in California and the author of a previous book on the history and nature of federal court judicial opinions. In this text, the author compares four brilliant and diverse jurists of the Roosevelt-era… Court--Hugo Black, William O. Douglas, Felix Frankfurter, and Robert Jackson--during the period from 1941 to 1954. The study explores the Court's evolving civil rights jurisprudence that was born in the period during which the four justices served together, considers the Court as an institution and its relation to the American public, and analyzes how four individual justices sharing core jurisprudential beliefs and ambitions before appointment would later divide into competing liberal and conservative factions.
