The Making of Modern Law (MOML): U.S. Supreme Court Records and Briefs, 1832-1978
- Published by Gale
The Making of Modern Law: U.S. Supreme Court Records and Briefs, 1832-1978, contains the world's most comprehensive online collection of records and briefs brought before the nation's highest court by leading legal practitioners, including many future judges and associates of the court. It serves as the second installment of the award winning The Making of Modern Law.
What is a brief? A brief is a lawyer's statement of his or her case, including its factual and legal arguments. United Sates appellate courts usually require a brief to be filed for the information of the judge and the opposing party. Occasionally a brief may incorporate considerable historical, economic, and sociological data, which makes it a particularly rich archival source for lawyers, historians and social scientists. The Making of Modern Law: Supreme Court Records and Briefs, 1832–1978 offers an in-depth record of contemporary analytical writing by well-known social scientists, economists, sociologists, psychologists, social thinkers, scientists, historians and academics.
