Abstract

The Return of George Sutherland is neither a legal history nor a biography, though it would fare well as either. It is, rather, a primer on constitutional jurisprudence, a guidebook for jurists who would restore a sense of the proper limits on the federal government, which for Hadley Arkes are conservatives as that term is currently used. Professor Arkes provides this primer under the guise of recovering the correct understanding of the jurisprudence of George Sutherland, Associate Justice on the Supreme Court from 1922 until 1938. Professor Arkes's first task is to demonstrate that much of contemporary jurisprudence-both liberal and conservative-can trace its pedigree to the opinions and principles of Justice
