Add to basketFirst edition of this analysis of the constitutional and statutory limits of U.S. federal court authority. Octavo, original pictorial wrappers. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Justice Ginsburg - With best personal regards. Jim Pfander." From the library of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. American lawyer and jurist, Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White, Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court, after Sandra Day Oâ Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and womenâ s rights, winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court, Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed â the Notorious R.B.G.â , a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination, voting rights, and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia (1996) which struck down the Virginia Military Instituteâ s male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Olmstead v. L.C. (1999) in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000) in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. In very good condition. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. James E. Pfanderâ s Principles of Federal Jurisdiction offers a comprehensive and accessible examination of the foundational doctrines governing the authority of U.S. federal courts. Aimed at advanced law students, the book explores key topics such as justiciability, standing, sovereign immunity, habeas corpus, and the scope of both original and appellate jurisdiction. It also addresses significant Supreme Court decisions, including Marbury v. Madison and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, as well as more recent rulings on nationwide injunctions and class actions. By integrating historical context with contemporary legal developments, Pfander provides readers with a nuanced understanding of the evolving landscape of federal judicial power.
