From Library Journal

Law school faculty customarily limit their scholarship to important Court decisions, learned passages on maritime law, or commentary on the Constitution. Black's collection of writings and addresses is all of these and more. His rich and subtly argued selections suggest a wide range of vision. Black, a paradigmatic Southern liberal, waxes eloguent on racism, poverty, and gender discrimination. He makes a plea for humane letters and arts, discusses tribal law in the context of American politics, and exhumes the much-neglected Ninth Amendment. Black makes a powerful appeal throughout the book for an expansive concept of law involving broad construction and the incorporation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Compassion and purpose inform the writings of this generously endowed scholar. For most libraries. Milton Cantor, History Dept., Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst
