Coming Soon! The 1,100 plus cases of the ACLU at the Supreme Court, with related facts and data about each case.

Books to be Published

No one, not even the ACLU, has this exhaustive compendium of more than 1,100 ACLU cases at the Supreme Court. In addition to the approximate 2 ½-page layman summary of each case, the work includes a Foreword by Erwin Chemerinsky, Ira Glasser’s explicit draft one-pager on what the ACLU does and how it does what it does, data on how each Supreme Court Justice voted on each case, and the Win / Loss record (the batting average) at the Supreme Court for all those years.

The Formats

The work is 99% complete and will be available in two different stand-alone formats.

A Four-volume (or perhaps three-volume set based on typesetting), 8 1/2 X 11″ hardcover set (after typesetting around 2,400 pages) of over 1,100 cases and related facts and information

A 250 page, 6 X 9″ Handbook, with all the facts and data of the four-volume set, but with only 3 of the 1,100 plus cases.
