United States Supreme Court Justices are the subjects of a number of the speeches, including both older historical figures, such as Chief Justice Edward Douglass White and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and more contemporary Justices, such as Chief Justices Warren E. Burger and William H. Rehnquist and Justices Hugo Black, William Brenan, Jr., Lewis Powell, Jr., Antonin Scalia, and Harry A. Blackmun (who writes a foreword to the book, together with one by U.S. District Court Judge Eldon Fallon (E.D. La.)). Professor Baier had personal contacts with a number of them, often through law school summer programs abroad.' Called simply Speeches, this book is in the great tradition of speech making in America. Speeches have long had a respected place in the American historical and literary tradition, providing enlightenment, persuasion, and inspiration. Collections of the * © 2014 Edward F. Sherman. WR.
