The Chase Court : justices, rulings, and legacy

"A young country was being torn apart by civil war while industry, the economy, and the justice system were in turmoil. The hope of freedom was at the foreground. The branches of the government were stepping all over each other as federal and state relationships were continually blurred. The Chase Court: Justices, Rulings, and Legacy explores the role of the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Salmon Portland Chase, in establishing the law during this crucial time in U.S. history."
