May It Please the Court. The Most Significant Oral Arguments Made Before the Supreme Court Since 1955: With Set of 23 Live Recordings (audio tapes) of Landmark Cases
This remarkable book and audiocassette combination has already received much notice, due, ironically, to the legalities involved over the use of archival sources. Network television and National Public Radio have reported on the controversy, which should serve to increase public interest in these recordings of 23 landmark cases argued before the Supreme Court since 1955. Introductory material and other narration is provided by Peter Irons of the Earl Warren Bill of Rights Project of the University of California. Listeners are allowed a glimpse of modern history as never before; the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam, Watergate, and various other seminal social/moral/ethical disputes are played out in succinct, precise arguments. The sound of the actual history-making cases is thrilling. The accompanying hardcover book contains the text of each argument. This is a "must have" for law, academic, and large public libraries.- Reilly Reagan, Putnam Cty. Lib., Cookeville, Tenn.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
