Product Description

Thoroughly revised, with expanded historical and international coverage, Judges on Judging offers insights into the judicial philosophies and political views of those on the bench. In this wide-ranging collection, Supreme Court justices, as well as lower federal and state court judges, discuss the judicial process, constitutional and statutory interpretation, judicial federalism, and the role of the judiciary. New selections come from such distinguished jurists as Judge Jerome Frank (U.S. Court of Appeals), Judge D. Brock Hornby (U.S. District Court), Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. (Supreme Court of the United States), Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo (Supreme Court of the United States), and Chief Justice Aharon Barak (Supreme Court of Israel). With updated introductions to provide students with necessary thematic and historical context, this book is the perfect supplement to present a nuanced view of the judiciary.




Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Clever, broad, thought provoking, mostly great writing   April 19, 2007
Bruce_in_LA (los angeles, ca United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is a broad survey of many aspects of US court history and judging, assembled from a diverse array of sources, although quite a lot of the authors are contemporary judges. If you have a running interest in the law, this is quite readable even for non-lawyers. Most of the authors are actually remarkably lucid and a pleasure to read. Other volumes that might be of interest for you include Cardozo's "selected writings" (on judging and law; 1920s) and Neumann's book on legal reasoning for law students (or afficionados).
