A Book of Legal Lists: The Best and Worst in American Law

From John Marshall, the greatest Supreme Court Justice, to Alfred Moore, one of the worst, Bernard Schwartz's A Book of Legal Lists -- the first ever compiled -- provides the Ten Bests and Worsts in American law and also includes answers to 150 trivia questions about the legal world. From disappointments like Plessy v. Ferguson (number two on the Ten Worst Supreme Court Decisions list), which gave the lie to the American ideal "that all men are created equal", to lesser known but no less important decisions such as the 1933 United States v. One Book Called "Ulysses" (number nine on the Ten Greatest Non-Supreme Court Decisions), the landmark First Amendment case that eased the law governing censorship, Bernard Schwartz provides legal experts and non-experts alike with entertaining information in a format that can be found nowhere else.
