They served together on the United States Supreme Court during a period of momentous conflicts, and they frequently spoke out in dissent against the rest of their colleagues. THE LEGACY OF HOLMES AND BRANDEIS is the first full-length comparative study of the constitutional philosophy of the two Justices. Yet this book is no mere survey of judicial opinions. Professor Konefsky is concerned not only with the distinctive thought of Holmes and Brandeis but just as much with its fate at the hands of their disciples and interpreters. His account of the evolving intellectual influence of the two jurists is thus also in the nature of a systematic inquiry into the doctrines and methods to which th Supreme Court, as reconstituted by Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower, has fallen heir. . . . a highly readable and important book, conveying both the drama and significance of modern constitutional jurisprudence.".…
