Toward Increased Judicial Activism: The Political Role of the Supreme Court (Contributions in American Studies)

by Arthur Selwyn Miller



Editorial Reviews

Review
In this most recent study, Miller extends themes that he has been
developing since the 1950s. For him, the courts have always had a
legitimate policymaking role, one not only justified but also highly
essential. ... Miller considers the Supreme Court to be the only existing
governmental organ that can articulate national values successfully. He
urges increased accessibility to the Supreme Court and the enhancement of
a kind of judicial activism geared to helping America make necessary
social and political adjustments....American Historical Review
