Abstract:
I have selected specific (generally, well-known) cases for the free-flowing dialogues that follow from the thousands of cases to which these 13 (alphabetized) judges have been assigned?those that have raised critical questions about justice, policy, precedent, the law, and the way in which the currents and tides of their lives and of our ever-changing society have influenced those rulings"--Preface
