Synopsis:

How do justices and judges view their role in society? How do they defend their positions against rival and competing positions? Straight from the mouths of our nation's judges come interesting answers to these interesting questions.

In David O'Brien's wide-ranging collection, Supreme Court justices, as well as lower federal court and state court judges, discuss the judicial process, constitutional interpretation, statutory interpretation, judicial federalism, and the role of the judiciary in American politics. A balanced mix of perspectives, these views from the bench feature commentary from such distinguished jurists as Bork, Rehnquist, and Scalia to Brennan, Breyer, Ginsburg, and Marshall.
