About the Book

Now in its ninth year, this acclaimed annual publication brings together leading national scholars to analyze the Supreme Court's most important decisions from the term just ended and preview the year ahead. The Cato Supreme Court Review is unlike any other publication that follows the work of the Court:

• It is timely. An in-depth review, it appears less than three months after the Court's term ends and before the new term begins.
• Although directed to legal experts, its articles are fully accessible to non-attorneys interested in the work of the Court.
• Crucial to its exceptional coverage, the Review takes a Madisonian perspective-grounded in the nation's first principles, liberty and limited government.
