Completely updated to cover Supreme Court decisions through May of 1994, this classic study remains the basic work in the field. With the addition of four new Justices since the fifth edition and major decisions relating to affirmative action, abortion, desegregation, and criminal due process, Freedom and the Court remains the best and most comprehensive textual summary of the Supreme Court's work on civil liberties and civil rights. Lucid, lively, impeccably researched and enormously readable, it is indispensable to the teaching of civil liberties and the Supreme Court.
