The high court's struggle to redefine American legal vocabulary The Supreme Court under Edward Douglass White, 19101921 chronicles a transformation in American jurisprudence that mirrored the widespread political, economic, and social upheavals of the early twentieth century. Edward Douglass White's tenure as chief justice coincided with an onslaught of changes in the life of the country, including a rapid shift from a rural to an urban society, the emergence of the United States as a world power, and the enactment of Populist and Progressive reforms. In this volume Walter F. Pratt, Jr., recounts the Court's rulings of the era and draws particular attention to its unique struggle in redefining legal vocabulary.

He draws upon the business within each term to document the institution's evolutionfrom strict deductive formalism to studied inductive reasoning to an accelerated rate of word
