"Professor Bernard Schwartz is well-known to me and other members
of the Supreme Court for the extraordinary range of his scholarship
in constitutional law. Few law professors have matched his output
over the years.... The quality of Professor Schwartz's work is
exemplary."--Associate Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., United
States Supreme Court, Praise for Bernard Schwartz from the 1988
Annual Survey of American Law
[Praise for Bernard Schwartz from the 1988 Annual Survey of
American Law]: "Professor Bernard Schwartz is well-known to me and
other members of the Supreme Court for the extraordinary range of
his scholarship in constitutional law. Few law professors have
matched his output over the years. His five-volume Commentary on
the Constitution and two-volume The Bill of Rights are regularly
cited in judicial opinions, including our own. These
and his other works reflect meticulous research into original
sources, an inquiry that is so essential to a clear understanding
of the meaning of the constitutional provisions that, in assuring
the liberty and dignity of every
person, distinguish our governmental system from all others. The
quality of Professor Schwartz's work is exemplary."--Associate
Justice William J. Brennan, Jr., United States Supreme Court
"The lists themselves are interesting and thought-provoking, but
the real strength of the book lies in short annotations that
present readable, concise, and authoritative background for each
item. The book is capped off with a challenging list of 150 legal
trivia questions.... Highly recommended."--Library Journal
"Schwatrz's Book of Legal Lists is what reviwers call "a good
read."....This delightful volume will spur all Court watchers to
draw up lists of their own."--The Supreme Court Historical Society
Quarterly
