Reviews

"Professor Bernard Schwartz is well-known to me and other members of the Supreme Court for the extraordinary range of his scholarship in constitutional law. Few law professors have matched his output over the years.... The quality of Professor Schwartz's work is exemplary."--Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., United States Supreme Court, Praise for Bernard Schwartz from the 1988 Annual Survey of American Law
[Praise for Bernard Schwartz from the 1988 Annual Survey of American Law]: "Professor Bernard Schwartz is well-known to me and other members of the Supreme Court for the extraordinary range of his scholarship in constitutional law. Few law professors have matched his output over the years. His five-volume Commentary on the Constitution and two-volume The Bill of Rights are regularly cited in judicial opinions, including our own. These
and his other works reflect meticulous research into original sources, an inquiry that is so essential to a clear understanding of the meaning of the constitutional provisions that, in assuring the liberty and dignity of every
person, distinguish our governmental system from all others. The quality of Professor Schwartz's work is exemplary."--Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., United States Supreme Court
"The lists themselves are interesting and thought-provoking, but the real strength of the book lies in short annotations that present readable, concise, and authoritative background for each item. The book is capped off with a challenging list of 150 legal trivia questions.... Highly recommended."--Library Journal
"Schwatrz's Book of Legal Lists is what reviwers call "a good read."....This delightful volume will spur all Court watchers to draw up lists of their own."--The Supreme Court Historical Society Quarterly
