Do Great Cases Make Bad Law?
Bloom, Jr., Lackland H. (Professor of Law, Professor of Law, Southern Methodist University, Dedman School of Law)
"Great cases like hard cases make bad law" was Justice Holmes' famous aphorism arguing that the pivotal cases attracting Supreme Court attention make for poor bases upon which to construct a general law. In Do Great Cases Make Bad Law?, Lackland H. Bloom, Jr. tests Justice Holmes' dictum by analyzing in detail the history of the Supreme Court's great cases. He explains why the Court found a case compelling, how the background and historical context affectedthe decision and its place in constitutional law and history, and in doing so, synthesizes important analytical scholarship about these cases to form an intricate scholarly understanding of the holistic significance of the Supreme Court's reasoning in American constitutional law.
