May It Please the Court: Live Recordings of the Supreme Court in Session
6 Audiocassettes
1993
KF4748 .M39 1993 Tapes 1-6
Few Americans know that every case argued before the Supreme Court since 1955 has been recorded. Although the tapes have lingered in a tiny room in the basement of the National Archives, the actual oral arguments leading to landmark rulings - about abortion rights, flag burning, school desegregation, sexual orientation, Miranda rights, interracial marriage, prayer in school - have never before been made available to the public.
Through the voices of some of the nation's most important lawyers and justices - Thurgood Marshall, Abe Fortas, Earl Warren, Archibald Cox, Laurence Tribe, Sarah Weddington, Robert Bork, Hugo Black, Warren Burger, William Rehnquist, Sandra Day O'Connor - here is an unprecedented chance to hear firsthand our justice system at work, in the highest court of the land.
