A revealing examination of the Supreme Court's justices and their cautiously moderate jurisprudence during the ten-year tenure of Chief Justice Salmon Portland Chase.

The Chase Court: Justices, Rulings, and Legacy examines the workings and legacies of the Supreme Court during the tenure of Chief Justice Salmon Portland Chase. Accompanying an in-depth analysis of the Chase Court's landmark rulings on Civil War and Reconstruction issues that shaped U.S. history--such as military commissions and the status of seceding states--are detailed discussions of the Court's rulings on government-issued paper currency greenbacks and the newly ratified 14th Amendment.

Salmon Portland Chase's role as the first chief justice to preside over the impeachment of a president is carefully examined. Profiles of the 13 Chase Court justices describe their rise to prominence, controversies surrounding their nominations, work on the court, judicial philosophies, important decisions, and overall impacts.
