Über diesen Titel
For more than two centuries, the Supreme Court has exerted extraordinary influence over the way we live our daily lives. The Court has defined the boundaries of our speech and actions since its first meeting in 1790, adding to our history books names such as John Marshall, Louis Brandeis, Hugo Black, Earl Warren, Thurgood Marshall, Warren Burger, William Rehnquist, and many others.
Have you ever wondered what goes into shaping the Court's decisions - or the beliefs of its justices? Or how the nine justices blend divergent and often strongly conflicting philosophies to reach decisions that reflect consensus - or sometimes fail to? How even a single change in the Court's personnel can dramatically alter not only the Court's ideological balance but its cooperative chemistry, as well? Or what it actually sounded like in the Court as some of the most important cases in our history were argued? This series of 36 clear and insightful lectures - delivered by an award-winning teacher and widely respected authority on the Supreme Court - answers these questions and many more as it traces the development of the Court from a body having little power or prestige to its current status as, "the most powerful and prestigious judicial institution in the world."
The lectures are rich in biographical snapshots of not only the justices but also the advocates who have stood before them and the dozens of ordinary men and women whose cases have reached the Court. Several historical recordings are also highlighted, giving you a front-row seat as you hear lawyers actually arguing before the Court, as well as the justices' replies.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

History from an unusual angle
"The History of the Supreme Court"
Hmm, why should I as a person with no legal background who not even is an American listen to such a boring sounding title? Well, I was just curious. And to my astonishment I found this history really fascinating. It sheds a lot of light from an unusual angle on American history, made me often smile, sometimes despair at the human, all too human dimension of the events described in the course.
And Prof. Irons narrates his stories with Homerian verve, chapeau!

Wonderful introduction and overview
For anyone looking for an introduction to the United States Supreme Court, its history, workings, and evolution over the centuries, this course provides a comprehensive historical look (until 2003) at the court, its most important (though not always well-known) decisions, and the implications for law and jurisprudence in the United States. It is an intellectually challenging course based on a vigorous academic narrative and thoroughly enjoyable presentation.
