Making Civil Rights Law provides a chronological narrative history of the legal struggle, led by Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, that preceded the political battles for civil rights. Drawing on interviews with Thurgood Marshall and other NAACP lawyers, as well as new information about the private deliberations of the Supreme Court, Tushnet tells the dramatic story of how the NAACP Legal Defense Fund led the Court to use the Constitution as an instrument of liberty and justice for all African-Americans. He also offers new insights into how the justices argued among themselves about the historic changes they were to make in American society.
Making Civil Rights Law provides an overall picture of the forces involved in civil rights litigation, bringing clarity to the legal reasoning that animated this "Constitutional revolution", and showing how the slow development of doctrine and precedent reflected the overall legal strategy of Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP.

Recensione
"A monumental and fascinating piece of research written in language that you too can understand."―Nina Totenberg, Legal Affairs Correspondent, National Public Radio and ABC Nightline
"Dramatic and moving....Replete with new information and insights about Marshall and his times....The Marshall that rises from the pages of this book was a brilliant lawyer, a shrewd strategist and a prodigious psychologist."―Chicago Tribune
"Superb documentation, including interviews, letters, and manuscript collections."―Choice
"An absorbing account of the legal struggles, led by Thurgood Marshall, to achieve civil rights for African Americans....An important and well-told account of the often-neglected legal struggle for civil rights."―Kirkus Reviews
"This is a sobering, serious, historically significant work that should be read by every law student, lawyer and judge in America. Journalists, educators and other persons who shape public policy, will gain insights of inestimable value. Moreover, as South Africa and other nations struggle to insert human rights and and civil rights values into their domestic laws, the lessons to be learned from Thurgood Marshall, as chronicled in this remarkable book, assume even greater importance."―Nathaniel R. Jones, Circuit Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
"This is the definitive account of the legal crusade that triggered a social revolution. Thurgood Marshall's skills as an advocate are detailed with care and insight. Had he never held public office, he would have been one of the most important lawyers in American history, and Mark Tushnet's book demonstrates why."―Dennis J. Hutchinson, Editor, The Supreme Court Review, The University of Chicago
"Mark Tushnet's wonderful book makes possible a full accounting of the enormous debt we owe to Thurgood Marshall. By telling the compelling story of Marshall the civil rights lawyer, Tushnet's book reminds us that Thurgood Marshall would have been a giant if he had never served a day on the Court. For students of the Court, Tushnet provides an invaluable insight into the NAACP legal strategy that led to a constitutional revolution."―Burt Neuborne, New York University School of Law
"A superb book. Based on careful excavation of the archival record, Tushnet focuses on Marshall's career as the guiding presence of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. Tushnet evokes the often harrowing circumstances under which Marshall worked and makes clear the true heroism of his achievement as a lawyer who truly was, at the same time, a primary maker of our civil rights law. Along the way, Tushnet also offers a first-rate history of the Supreme Court's confrontation with the legal problems posed by the discriminatory regime that Marshall devoted his life to attacking."―Sanford Levinson, University of Texas School of Law at Austin
"Extraordinarily valuable for its account of the deliberations of the Supreme Court in the vital cases brought to it by Thurgood Marshall. All readers will gain important insights into the workings of the Court and how it was influenced by the strategic decisions made by Marshall and his colleagues at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund."―Charles Stephen Ralston, Senior Staff Attorney, NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
