Life, Law & LibertyLife, Law & Liberty

"Justice John Roberts describes as 'a special combination of legal acumen, collegiality, and kindness.' The last Justice to be confirmed to the Court unanimously by the Senate, Anthony Kennedy serves as a role model for our fractious times, an example of civility, decency, and ethics, and a deeply principled guardian of liberty. To understand Anthony Kennedy is to realize that, for him, judging is independent of politics, preferences, and religious beliefs. This book serves as a reflection on the role of a judge and the life story of a precocious boy from Sacramento, California, who became the man Chief beliefs. It is about a fundamental conviction that neutral principles must drive the decision and an unyielding commitment to the rule of law" --From the publisher's description.
