This work on the history of constitutional theory suggests that in recent years, new political and interdisciplinary perspectives have undermined the tenets of legal liberalism, and that liberal law professors have enlisted other disciplines in an attempt to legitimize their beliefs.

This account of the evolution of a New Dealer to Washington lawyer and liberal and his subsequent resignation from the Supreme Court under threat of scandal, is fleshed out by the use of personal papers and interviews whilst drawing a parallel picture of American liberalism from the 30s to the 60s.
