CATO Supreme Court Review 2012-2013 - Softcover

Cato Supreme Court Review is unlike any other publication that follows the work of the Court:

Court’s term ends and before the new term begins.
to, nonattorneys interested in the work of the Court.
Review takes a Madisonian perspec-tive—grounded in the nation’s first principles of liberty and limited government.

Cases critiqued in the 2012–2013 edition include those involving international human rights, racial preferences in higher education, and the Voting Rights Act, as well as cutting edge issues of criminal procedure, property rights, and class actions. There’s also an important regulatory case concerning a bizarre New Deal–era raisin-marketing law. A point-counterpoint on the patenting of human genes will be presented, and finally, the Review will analyze this term’s gay rights cases, one challenging the Defense of Marriage Act and the other taking up California’s Proposition 8.
