Prize Cases Decided in the United States Supreme Court 1789-1918 is a monumental compilation of judicial decisions that defined the legal landscape of maritime warfare and international relations during the United States' first century and a quarter. Edited by James Brown Scott, this extensive collection brings together Supreme Court rulings concerning the capture of enemy vessels and property at sea, commonly known as prize law.

The work spans a critical era of American history, from the early years of the Republic and the Napoleonic Wars to the global conflict of World War I. By including cases on the instance side that involved prize law principles, the volume offers a thorough examination of how the nation's highest court interpreted the laws of war, neutral rights, and naval jurisdiction. This collection serves as an indispensable primary source for legal scholars and historians interested in the evolution of maritime jurisprudence and the executive power of the United States in times of maritime conflict.
