Books
by Justices–A Representative List
The subjects chosen by members of the Supreme Court
for original writing–books, articles, lectures,
etc.–reveal a dimension of their interests, both
professional and personal, seldom noted by students
of the individuals or the institution. Yet a complete
list of these writings would be surprisingly long–too
long for the present article, but perhaps warranting
a separate bibliographical publication. The present
list, which is long enough, supplements the accompanying
article on the academic and (presumably) intellectual
activity of Justices throughout the Court's history.
Both the authors (only books by, rather than
about, the Justices are included) and the titles
(taken for the most part from the National Union Catalog
bibliography of the Library of Congress) are selective–sixteen
Justices, ranging from the first years of the Court
in the case of James Wilson to the period just before
the present Court in the case of Earl Warren; and in
most instances, only some of the list of writings by
the author. Within these space-imposed limits, however,
perhaps a new perspective of the Court and the people
who have made it over the past 190 years may be gained.
