Description: "This book is a personalized view of the judicial career of Judge J. Skelly Wright. It is not an orthodox biography. Rather, it attempts to place the career of Judge Wright in the context of the development of law, principally constitutional law, during the past three to four decades. Most chapters deal with substantive areas of law. Each begins with an explication of the specific larger problem and then goes on to evaluate how Wright has dealt with it. An opening chapter sets forth the approach I took in writing the book; and the final chapter evaluates Judge Wright's career in general terms"--Preface.
