Although the concept of precedent is basic to the operation of the legal system, there has not yet been a full-length empirical study of why US Supreme Court justices have chosen to alter precedent. This book fills that gap by analyzing those decisions of the Vinson, Warren, and Burgers courts, and the first six terms of the Rehnquist Court.
