作为一本通史类著作,伯纳德·施瓦茨的《美国最高法院史》特别注重“大法官”这一角色在美国最高法院中的重要作用。全书基本以大法官为中心,以重要案件为线索,按照时间脉络叙述美国最高法院的源起与发展,尤其突出其不可忽视的、主要作为“政治机构”的性质。 As a general history book, Bernard Schwartz’s “History of the Supreme Court of the United States” pays special attention to the important role of “Lord Justice ” in the Supreme Court of the United States. The book basically centers on judges, cites important cases, and narrates the origins and development of the Supreme Court of the United States in terms of time. In particular, it emphasizes the nature that can not be ignored and mainly serves as a “political institution.”
