Reviews

Sunflower Justice demonstrates that the Kansas Supreme Court decided important cases involving unions, prohibition, contracts, and school segregation that were appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The state high court was in the vanguard in several policy areas, especially during the Progressive period and era of prohibition. The book is a major contribution to the study of state supreme court history. --John A. Fliter, coauthor of Fighting Foreclosure: The Blaisdell Case, the Contract Clause, and the Great Depression --John A. Fliter (09/23/2013)
