This book closely recounts Judge Dyk’s life and experiences in connection with some of the most significant times in modern American law, ranging from his time at the Warren Court, through a private career in First Amendment and other high profile practice, to his current role in the US Court of Appeals. Based on his own account of his long career and supplemented with documentary evidence from archives, media sources and scholarship, the book not only details Dyk’s experiences but also offers a significant contribution to our understanding of the seismic changes in US law since the 1960s.
