These are transcriptions of oral interviews given by Frankfurter for Columbia University, and they reveal the two great rules for conducting an interview: know your subject and let 'em speak.

This collect of papers written by Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter is a great literary publication. It shows Frankfurter's great writting ablity and his great quality as a writer. The papers include many of his thoughts on life in general. Also this collection is includes his decisions that he made as a Supreme Court Justice when he served from 1939 to 1962, when he retired. Right now Frankfurter is dead, but through this, one of his many publications, his great collection, The Felix Frankfurter Papers, he will be remembered for many generations to come.

Mr. Justice Frankfurter was a member of the Supreme Court of the United States until 1962. He was closely associated with Holmes and Brandeis JJ. He had been a Harvard law professor and had staffed the New Deal from there, for FDR. Whilst on the Court, his were the foremost views of the judicial restraint wing of the Court.

The book is a sound and interesting one, but it plainly enough puts a legal realist perspective on such vital areas as the extent of federal power under the interstate and foreign commerce powers and the restriction of state power implied by the vesting of the power over such commerce in the Congress.

It shows perceptive insights into the legal method of three chief justices of the Supreme Court, namely those named in the title. His Honour's views on some of these issues on the bench are shown to good effect in His Honour's sound judgment in Freeman v. Hewit 329 U.S. 249 (1946).

Why it is not a four or five star book is it is a very personal one, in an odd way, for it is reflective of the disputes over the legitimacy of the approach of the pre-New Deal Supreme Court, in which the then Professor Frankfurter was a major participant.

In the version with the Mendelssohn introduction, it is a four star book.
