'Students and scholars alike will find a trove of materials on how the US Supreme Court has treated its own precedents over the past 230 years. Never has this been more important than today, as a newly empowered conservative majority is poised to reconsider the rulings of the past.' -- Daniel Farber, University of California, Berkeley, US 'The book clearly explains genesis and the role of legal precedent in the construction of American law. What is extremely interesting, that David Schulz in a very convenient way shows us how the precedents are set, how they are modified, and what is a role of judges, especially of chief justices, for the ideology and the content of the court's decisions.' -- Dalia Vasariene, Mykolas Romeris University, Lithuania and The Supreme Court of Lithuania
