- Summary
- "This comprehensive history completes a two-volume series that began with The History of the New York Court of Appeals, 1847-1932. Each case is recounted and analyzed, detailing the decisions and dissenting opinions. Short biographies are provided for the judges who served during this period, and changes in the selection of judges, as well as the court's jurisdiction, are thoroughly explained." "Particular to this volume, the authors provide the legal, social, and political contexts for these cases, showing how the law has evolved over time. The examine the court's view concerning its constitutional power to respond to an economic emergency during the Great Depression; they outline cases in which the judges ruled on the government's role in legislating morals and morality; and they focus on the evolution of the court's opinions regarding statutory interpretation, judicial federalism, censorship, constitutional reform, criminal law and capital punishment, rules of evidence, education, family law, and antitrust and labor law."--BOOK JACKET.
