Following on Making Civil Rights Law, which covered Thurgood Marshall''s career from 1936-1961, this book focuses on Marshall''s career on the Supreme Court from 1961-1991, where he was first Afro-American Justice. The first book on Justice Thurgood Marshall''s years on the Supreme Court based on a comprehensive review of the Supreme Court papers of Justices Marshall and William J. Brennan, this work describes Marshall''s special approach to constitutional law in areas ranging from civil rights and the death penalty to abortion and poverty. It also describes the Supreme Court''s operations during Marshall''s tenure, the relations among the justices, and the particular roles played by Chief Justice Warren Burger, Justice Brennan, and Justice Antonin Scalia. The book locates the Supreme Court''s actions from 1967 to 1991 in a broader historical and political context, explaining how Marshall''s liberalism became increasingly isolated on a Court influenced by nation''s drift in a more conservative direction.
