Abstract

The Warren Court: Turn to Liberalism
Pritchett, C. Hermann | July 14, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

As the third term of the U.S. Supreme Court under Chief Justice Warren closes, its growing support for civil liberties makes clear that the Court has turned one of its historic corners. The last corner was turned, and in the opposite direction, in the summer of 1949. It should be recognized that part of the Court's more favorable record on civil liberties may be due to the somewhat improved climate of opinion in the country at large. Nevertheless, a corner has been turned and the Justice Warren Court is entitled to some of the credit.
