One of the mose powerful writers of Supreme Court opinions. He wrote a lot of dissents that were real zingers, great for people like me quoting him. But this is not a book about Court Opinions. This is a book about speeches. Why speeches . His Court Opinions or memorable and im ontold by law students and report theyd went to his opinions first for that reason. So crisply written and evocative and powerful. His speech have some of the same quality all the same great qualities that his opinion does but the advantage of the speeches is that he could let more of his personality shine through for one thing. He was a great performer, a little bit of a ham. He had he played mcbeth in a High School Production of that play and was i think the president of georgetown theater club. So that kind of theatrical side shined through in speeches and not Court Opinions. Court opinions have to follow certain conventions that are apt to turn off the average person who is not a court follower or a law stud
