He Shall Not Pass This Way Again: The Legacy of Justice William O. Douglas (Pitt Series in Policy & Institutional Studies)
( After a successful career as a law professor and govern...)
After a successful career as a law professor and government regulator, William O. Douglas was appointed to the Supreme Court by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939. During his thirty-six years on the court, he became known as one of its most outspoken and controversial members. In this volume, which was originally published for the William O. Douglas Institute, distinguished scholars examine four major aspects of Justice Douglas's work: his relations with his colleagues; his views on civil liberties, which primarily led to his reputation as a liberal; his stance as an environmentalist; and his views as an internationalist.

The first book-length study of civil rights litigation from the late 1960s through the early 1980s, Race Relations Litigation in an Age of Complexity fills a void in the scholarly literature on American courts and poltics in the post Brown versus Board of Education era.

Desegregation from Brown to Alexander: An Exploration of the Supreme Court Strategies
( Positing the hypothesis that the United States Supreme ...)
Positing the hypothesis that the United States Supreme Court makes rather than finds the law, this analysis of race relations cases provides a model by which to examine Court strategies. While the primary focus of the study is on Brown v. Board of Education, which was central to the social revolution” started by the Court in its 1954 and 1955 rulings and which continued, perhaps more consciously, thereafter, this is not simply another book about the School Desegregation Cases of 1954 and 1955. Ranging back to 1883, the authors summarize in an early chapter the cases before Brown. Then, after dealing with Brown, the authors proceed topically to explore the Court’s rulings in other areas of race relations in order to provide the larger strategic context within which Brown and its progeny were decided. In addressing the practical question of Supreme Court behavior in a long line of desegregation cases, the authors look at the entire pattern of the Court’s strategy and behavior, not only the cases the Court decided with full opinions but also its summary actions and its refusals to grant review. Political scientists, historians, constitutional lawyers, jurists, and interested general readers will find this book essential to an understanding of the evolution of American law in the matter of race relations. It may well provide a model for future studies of Supreme Court strategies in other areas.
