The Hollow Hope: Can Courts Bring About Social Change? by Gerald N. Rosenberg
Quote:
Where is the Supreme Court headed? The public waits in hope or in dread. But, how much does the Court really matter? Our free e-book for October is a controversial classic, The Hollow Hope: Can Courts Bring About Social Change? by Gerald N. Rosenberg, a study of the social impact of court decisions. Rosenberg examines famous cases over desegregation, abortion, and same-sex marriage and argues that the impacts of the legal decisions is limited. American courts are ineffective and relatively weak, and real social reform instead has come through legislation and direct citizen action, not through the courts.
No matter where you are on the political spectrum, this is a book that may infuriate or inspire you. Or both.
