Sample Book Insights:

#1 I wrote this book to share memories of the three judges who had the most influence on me during my time at the Northwestern University School of Law: Nathaniel Nathanson, Louis Brandeis, and Fred Vinson. I did not intend to provide a comprehensive review of their jurisprudence or tenures, but instead to improve public understanding of their work and the office they each occupied with honor.

#2 The chief justice of the United States is the first among equals in the Court. He has only one vote, and he must convince as many colleagues to join him as necessary to achieve a desired outcome.
