Book Description:

Recounts the landmark 1965 Supreme Court case that declared a new and previously unarticulated "right of privacy" and paved the way for the Roe v. Wade decision. Decades later, Griswold v. Connecticut remains extremely controversial as an example of an activist judiciary making new law rather than merely interpreting existing law.
