Summary |
An absorbing and definitive history of the U.S. Supreme Court from acclaimed expert Timothy Huebner. Professor Timothy Huebner's audio course shines light on the Court's evolution, most influential justices, and pivotal cases. Drawing from his deep well of knowledge, the award-winning professor distills the entire history of the Supreme Court into 24 incisive lectures. Your discussion stays rooted in the historical-not the legal or political. In other words, you do not need a law or political science degree to understand how the nomination and confirmation process has changed, or how the justices have differed in their approaches to the Constitution, or why the Court's decisions matter now more than ever. Likewise, you do not need to put your guard up when discussing controversial decisions. Instead, you will study the evolution of the Court with an eye towards understanding how it has come to play such an important role in American life. As we know, much of American ideology and history appears mired in contradiction. The Supreme Court is no exception. Throughout the course, you will gain an appreciation for the American public's paradoxical attitudes toward the judiciary over the centuries. As you examine landmark decisions and key players in the Court's history, you will arrive at a fuller understanding of its role in both shaping and responding to larger developments across society. This course includes a free PDF study guide prepared by your professor and course producer. |
