Press has published a new book on the Chief Justices of the USSC.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Since the
beginning of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1789, seventeen men have
held the Chief Justice position. The first three held the position for a total
of eleven years, and the next two (Marshall and Taney) held the Chief Justice
position for the next sixty-three years (the two longest chiefs in our
history). This book seeks to examine the position of Chief Justice more
closely, to describe the position's origins and duties, and to explore the
court under each of the seventeen chiefs. Discussions cover the background and
careers of the chiefs before becoming Chief Justice as well as the cultural
times, in order to put their rise and tenure in our nation's context, while
discussing some of the key associate justices who sat with each of the
seventeen. Each chapter also focuses on some key decisions of the Chief
Justices' courts.
