Cato Supreme Court Review, 2012-2013 (eBook)

Published every September in celebration of Constitution Day, the Cato Supreme Court Review brings together leading legal scholars to analyze the most important cases of the Court's most recent term. It is the first scholarly review to appear after the term's end and the only on to critique the court from a Madisonian perspective. This year's review looks at the Supreme Court's recent decisions involving international human rights, racial preferences in high education, and the Voting Rights Act, as well as cutting edge issues of criminal procedure, property rights, and class actions. There's also a point-counterpoint on the patenting of human genes. Finally, the Review will analyze this term's gay rights cases, one challenging the Defense of Marriage Act and the other taking up California's Proposition 8.
