Description

A signed copy of The Court and the Constitution by Archibald Cox, one of the most influential constitutional scholars and public legal figures of the twentieth century. Cox, best known as the Watergate Special Prosecutor, brings historical depth, legal clarity, and moral seriousness to the evolution of the U.S. Supreme Court and constitutional interpretation.

This copy is signed by Archibald Cox on the half-title page. The hardcover is clean and tight, and the dust jacket has been carefully reinforced at the top edge and protected in a Brodart cover. An intellectually substantial and historically important work, appealing both as a legal history and as an association copy connected to a pivotal figure in American constitutional law.

A strong, well-preserved example of a modern signed legal classic.
