a member of the Law Faculty at New York University for forty-five
years before retiring in 1992 as the Edwin D. Webb Professor of
Law. Thereafter he was appointed Chapman Distinguished Professor of
Law at the University of Tulsa, the post he held until his death.
He was the author or editor of over sixty books, and wrote hundreds
of articles over the span of a brilliant and
influential career.
"Bernard Schwartz leaves a legacy of fascinating essays, compiled
and edited with intellect, honesty, and perceptiveness."--Nina
Totenberg, Legal Affairs Correspondent, National Public Radio and
ABC Nightline
"This book represents the last major work edited by the late
Bernard Schwartz, whom Anthony Lewis once termed 'the most
committed, productive legal scholar of our time.' Following The
Warren Court: A Retrospective, it is the second volume of a trilogy
that proposes to cover our last three Supreme Courts. Schwartz
selected scholars, journalists, historians, and judges to present a
view that is both composite and unique. From Garrow to Graglia,
from
Brennan to Bell, this book offers to practitioners, scholars, and
jurists an examination of that most intriguing Court that separates
the conflicting models of the Warren and Rehnquist
benches."--Robert Henry
