(Headquartered in St. Louis and serving primarily Midweste...)
Headquartered in St. Louis and serving primarily Midwestern states, the Eighth Circuit Court has ruled on cases that touch some of the most significant issues in American history, including Native American rights, school segregation, farm bankruptcies, abortion, the environment, pornography, the “war on drugs,” and the first successful class-action sexual-harassment lawsuit. In Establishing Justice in Middle America, Jeffrey Brandon Morris covers its history, from its founding in 1866 through the present day. Morris also provides a panoramic view, discussing how the court has changed over time, the judges who have served on the court, and all of the court’s major cases. This work is one of the first histories of a court in the mostly regional tier of federal courts that are, judicially speaking, nearest to the Supreme Court. Establishing Justice in Middle America reveals how, in many ways, the history of a regional court is a history of the nation itself. Jeffrey Brandon Morris is professor of law at Touro Law Center in Long Island, New York. He is the author or editor of sixteen books, including histories of four federal courts, and is editor of the Encyclopedia of American History. Published for the Historical Society of the United States Courts in the Eighth Circuit.

(Through the federal courts of the Second Circuit-the U.S....)
Through the federal courts of the Second Circuit-the U.S. District and Circuit Courts in New York, Connecticut and Vermont-have flowed some of the most important cases in American history-cases involving giant corporations and prisoners in solitary confinement; cases dealing with rights to inventions such as the reaper, the telephone and the airplane; cases involving slaverunners and pirates; dealing with speakeasies and supersonic transport. Great cases involving the rights of Americans have taken place in the Second Circuit from Sedition prosecutions in Vermont, to the prosecution of Susan B. Anthony for trying to vote, to the attempt by the United States government to prevent publication of the "Pentagon Papers" by the New York Times. In this lively book you will read about these cases spanning American history under the U.S. Constitution from an era when bear and beaver ran free throughout these three states to that of great corporate mergers and affirmative action. You will meet as well as some of the important judges from the first District judge in New York and his "praetorian" guard, to a Vermont judge who during Prohibition would say "Mr. Marshal, open the window! Out goes another government case", to the now legendary Learned and Augustus Hand and Jerome Frank. This is the history of law at its most readable.
