It is an “important book…a powerful corrective to the standard narrative of the Burger Court” ( The New York Times Book Review ). When Richard Nixon campaigned for the presidency in 1968 he promised to change the Supreme Court. With four appointments to the court, including Warren E. Burger as the chief justice, he did just that. In 1969, the Burger Court succeeded the famously liberal Warren Court, which had significantly expanded civil liberties and was despised by conservatives across the country. The Burger Court is often described as a “transitional” court between the Warren Court and the Rehnquist and Roberts Courts, a court where little of importance happened. But as this “landmark new book” ( The Christian Science Monitor ) shows, the Burger Court veered well to the right in such areas as criminal law, race, and corporate power. Authors Graetz and Greenhouse excavate the roots of the most significant Burger Court decisions and in “elegant, illuminating arguments” ( The Washington Post ) show how their legacy affects us today. “Timely and engaging” ( Richmond Times-Dispatch ), The Burger Court and the Rise of the Judicial Right draws on the personal papers of the justices as well as other archives to provide “the best kind of legal history: cogent, relevant, and timely” ( Publishers Weekly ).","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781476732510","publication_date":"20170606","publisher":"Simon & Schuster","slug":"the-burger-court-and-the-rise-of-the-judicial-right","subtitle":"","title":"The Burger Court and the Rise of the Judicial Right"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"POL040030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Courts & the Judiciary","score":0.8,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL042020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Conservatism & Liberalism","score":0.7135,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"The Presidency & Executive","score":0.7016,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"POL040030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Courts & the Judiciary","score":0.8,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL042020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Conservatism & Liberalism","score":0.7135,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"The Presidency & Executive","score":0.7016,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"HIS036060","confidence_band":"high","label":"20th-Century America","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HIS036070","confidence_band":"high","label":"21st-Century America","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"LAW060000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Legal History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Courts & the Judiciary","score":0.8,"slug":"courts-the-judiciary"},{"label":"Conservatism & Liberalism","score":0.7135,"slug":"conservatism-liberalism"},{"label":"The Presidency & Executive","score":0.7016,"slug":"the-presidency-executive"}],"reader_fit":["For readers interested in how Supreme Court decisions shape constitutional law"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Linda Greenhouse"],"book_id":"9780593447932","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593447932.jpg?v=4e36cbdbfe3cf6a0","score":0.7404,"title":"Justice on the Brink","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593447932"},{"authors":["Adam Cohen"],"book_id":"9780735221505","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780735221505.jpg?v=a82820c942a6f7a8","score":0.7299,"title":"Supreme Inequality","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780735221505"},{"authors":["Joan Biskupic"],"book_id":"9780063052796","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063052796.jpg?v=f4db2cb72bd7b286","score":0.7226,"title":"Nine Black Robes","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063052796"},{"authors":["Mollie Hemingway","Carrie Severino","Mollie Ziegler Hemingway"],"book_id":"9781621579830","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781621579830.jpg?v=ea0af290eb6670d1","score":0.7095,"title":"Justice on Trial","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781621579830"},{"authors":["Ian Millhiser","Joe Barrett","Tantor Audio","& 0 more"],"book_id":"9781568585697","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781568585697.jpg?v=71a4a5cd6a367c43","score":0.7031,"title":"Injustices","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781568585697"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:yale law school"],"label":"School","score":0.1154,"slug":"school"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Burger Court conservatism, Criminal law, race, and corporate power, Supreme Court decisions' lasting legacy.","Themes: School.","Reading lane: Courts & The Judiciary and Conservatism & Liberalism."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.92,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["For readers interested in how Supreme Court decisions shape constitutional law"],"themes":["Burger Court conservatism","Criminal law, race, and corporate power","Supreme Court decisions' lasting legacy"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":0,"goodreads_ratings_count":187,"goodreads_reviews_count":29,"quality_score":0.8784}}
