Description: About this productProduct InformationWhen he resigned last June, Justice Stevens was the third longest serving Justice in American history (1975-2010)--only Justice William O. Douglas, whom Stevens succeeded, and Stephen Field have served on the Court for a longer time. In Five Chiefs , Justice Stevens captures the inner workings of the Supreme Court via his personal experiences with the five Chief Justices--Fred Vinson, Earl Warren, Warren Burger, William Rehnquist, and John Roberts--that he interacted with. He reminisces of being a law clerk during Vinson's tenure; a practicing lawyer for Warren; a circuit judge and junior justice for Burger; a contemporary colleague of Rehnquist; and a colleague of current Chief Justice John Roberts. Along the way, he will discuss his views of some the most significant cases that have been decided by the Court from Vinson, who became Chief Justice in 1946 when Truman was President, to Roberts, who became Chief Justice in 2005. Packed with interesting anecdotes and stories about the Court, Five Chiefs is an unprecedented and historically significant look at the highest court in the United States.Product IdentifiersPublisherLittle, Brown & CompanyISBN-10031619980xISBN-139780316199803eBay Product ID (ePID)22038288849Product Key FeaturesAuthorJohn Paul StevensFormatHardcover, 1st EditionLanguageEnglishTopicAmerican Government / Judicial Branch, Personal Memoirs, Political, Lawyers & JudgesPublication Year2011GenreBiography & Autobiography, Political ScienceNumber of Pages304 PagesDimensionsItem Length8.5in.Item Height1.2in.Item Width6in.Item Weight14.9 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberKf8745 Copyright Date2011Target AudienceTradeLccn2011-934111Dewey Decimal347.732634Dewey Edition23Illustrated YesUsed - Good: Former library book/1st Edition.
