The Constitution In The Supreme Court: Civil Rights And Liberties, 1930-1941, David P. Currie

Duke Law Journal

This is the latest in Professor Currie's continuing series on the historical development of constitutional doctrine. In this article Professor Currie surveys the major decisions of the Supreme Court between 1930 and 1941 in the area of criminal procedure, civil rights and civil liberties.
