Grand Inquests

Description

Grand Inquests” by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Rehnquist, the presiding judge in the Senate trial practice and trial advocacy of President Clinton, offers a timely survey of the constitutional process known as impeachment. Brought back into print by popular demand, “Grand Inquests” focuses on the 1805 impeachment trial practice and trial advocacy of Justice Samuel Chase and the 1868 impeachment trial practice and trial advocacy of President Andrew Johnson. This latter trial practice and trial advocacy provides a telling look into and comparison with the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.
