A ^AHistory of Securities Law in the Supreme Court
This comprehensive history of modern US securities law illustrates the key jurisprudential changes at the Supreme Court since the New Deal. The authors use the justices' internal memos, notes, and preliminary drafts to tell the story of how they actually decided the cases.

The Burger Court and the Rise of the Judicial Right
A revelatory look at the Warren Burger Supreme Court finds that it was not moderate or transitional, but conservative—and it shaped today’s constitutional landscape.

Drawing on the private papers of the justices and original data, this book demonstrates that court majorities engage with dissents posing a particular threat to their opinions, and that they can be persuaded by thoughtful and careful dissenting arguments.
