Vanderbilt Law Review

This is a deceptive book. It appears to be one more friendly appraisal of the work of the Warren Court--this time from the recent Solicitor General-surveying in giant steps and broad strokes its decisions in six major areas within the short space of 135 pages. On close reading it turns out to be a tough-minded essay written with notable lucidity, analytical density, and high professional competence.

Jones V. Alfred H. Mayer Co.: An Historic Step Forward, Arthur Kinoy

Vanderbilt Law Review

The historic decision last June by the Supreme Court in Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co.,' reasserting for the first time in almost 100 years the constitutional mandate in the thirteenth amendment to abolish the badges and indicia of human slavery from all aspects of American society, has begun to meet with sharp criticism. This is, of course, no surprise. One might expect outcries from quarters of the country in which the far less abrasive vocabulary of Brown v. Board of Education still evokes memories of "Black Monday," "massive resistance" and "interposition.' What is perhaps more surprising is that the …
