Abstract: | The author, who is convinced of the judge's individual role in cases on which the courts are relatively unrestricted by statutory or other limits, analyses the law closely in a number of crucial cases and reveals the points at which the judges for one reason or another chose to decide a particular case in the way that they did. Sections: The significance of judicial choice - The decline and fall of the doctrine of 'separate but equal' - The treatment of detainees and prisoners - The rights of urban workers. Conclusions. Notes. |
