Nine Justices in Search of a Doctrine

Emerson, Thomas
Abstract
The case of Griswold v. Connecticut,' like few others in recent times, presented the United States Supreme Court with a hopelessly unsupportable piece of state legislation and an unusual variety of possible doctrinal solutions. The Court's response to this situation, and the implications of its choice of doctrine for the future of individual rights in America, make an intriguing study of the judicial process.
