Summary:

Assembled here for the first time in CD-ROM format is an extensive collection of the most interesting, authoritative, and complete arguments in constitutional law of the last forty years.

Taking full advantage of today's computing technology, this remarkable CD-ROM contains over fifty hours of actual oral arguments from the nation's highest court, allowing the user to hear the best -- and, sometimes, the worst -- of advocates confront the most pressing issues of our day, including the issues of presidential power, affirmative action, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, criminal rights and the meaning of due process, the right to privacy, and the right to die.

Carefully selected from thousands of hours of materials by Professor Jerry Goldman, developer of the award winning OYEZ project, this extraordinary CD delivers high quality audio to both Macs and PCs, with no need for a network connection. Combining audio, video, text, and the latest in database technology, this CD-ROM provides a "virtual" tour of the nation's highest court, delivering an experience only few have been privileged to observe. Searchable by several independent criteria, this CD-ROM is a fascinating introduction to the U.S. Supreme Court, and an invaluable reference tool for scholars, professionals, and interested citizens alike.

This CD collection will prove useful to: -- Scholars, researchers and students who seek a deeper understanding of a powerful yet remote institution; -- lawyers and law students who demand an authentic sense of advocacy unfiltered or biased by editorial judgments or interjection; -- citizens who are simply curious to hear the nation's most powerful jurists speak to theAmerican public on the greatest issues of our times.
