The Collected Lectures of Chief Justice William Rehnquist: TREATISE ON LAW

Described by Time magazine as the Chief Justice “likely to be remembered as one of the most influential in American history”, William Rehnquist was an American jurist who served on the Supreme Court of the United States for 33 years, first as an Associate Justice from 1972 to 1986, and then as the 16th Chief Justice of the United States from 1986 until his death in 2005. ‘The Collected Lectures of Chief Justice William Rehnquist: Treatise on Law’ provides a fascinating celebration of his legal and historical insights with a collection of over a dozen of his most important speeches as Chief Justice from the later part of his tenure (2000 to 2003). The speeches, handpicked by the Ashfield Journal of Legal Studies editorial staff, represent works of historical significance and lasting influence on legal thinking. Indeed, the works touch on a range of what are still today amongst the most important legal issues facing America – including his spirited defence of judicial independence.
