In this annual review from the Cato Institute, Ilya Shapiro and leading legal scholars analyze the 2007-2008 Supreme Court term, specifically the most important and far-reaching cases of the year, plus cases coming up. Now in its seventh edition, the Review is the first scholarly journal to appear after the term's end and the only one grounded in the nation's first principles, liberty, and limited government.
