The Worst Supreme Court Decisions, Ever!

Evan Stewart shows us that justices of the U.S. Supreme Court have long been all too human. In this vivid and clever account of the Court's worst decisions, we see the Court bending in all sorts of wrong directions—but, also—usually, eventually—correcting itself.

This is not just a book about bad decisions, it is a history of American law and lawyers. Evan Stewart's stories, based on historic cases, bring life to the law and to the Court, demonstrating that the Court is sometimes fallible and often fragile—it is a human institution. It is enough to make even a seasoned lawyer want to take Stewart's class for incoming law students. Whether as an introduction to the law or as a reminder of the human limitations on the law, this is a great read."
