This book addresses the institution of the highest law of the land in the United States, the Federal Supreme Court. More specifically, the enduring influence of the Burger Court on the growth and progress of the Federal Judiciary Branch. An introduction to the US Supreme Court System is provided to lay the foundation for understanding the importance of Chief Justice Warren Burger. The legacy of the Burger Court is then examined through a brief biography of its charismatic leader, followed by an in depth look at the critical cases that defined the court.
