FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY FOR COLUMBIA ALUMNI, RUTH BADER GINSBURG'S COPY. Justice Hugo Black (1886-1971) was one of the most influential justices of the 20th-century and this work, based on a series of lectures delivered at Columbia Law School in 1968, is a lasting testament to his singular judicial philosophy. In it, he articulates his understanding of the relationship between the courts, Congress, and the Constitution.
