Continuity and change: From the Warren Court to the Burger Court (Goodyear series in American politics and public policy

by Stephen L. Wasby

"In this ground-breaking book, Stephen L. Wasby examines change in the transition from the Warren Court to the Burger Court in terms of liberalism/conservatism, activism/self-restraint, and President Nixon's expectations. However, Wasby stresses the continuity between the two courts - those policy areas where the Burger Court maintained, if not advanced, Warren Court rulings. The author assesses both courts by examining the liberal/conservative aspects of each; he shows the Warren Court as not fully liberal, the better to evaluate the not-full-conservative Burger Court. Continuity and Change covers not only civil liberties, but policy on access to the courts, economic policy, and relations between the branches of government. Wasby supplements policy discussion with material on internal dynamics (agreement/disagreement), nomination and confirmation of Supreme Court nominees, and the Court's screening of cases"--Unedited summary from book cover.… (more)
