The Supreme Court's Greatest Hits 2.0 : Updated and Expanded

Rating:
Summary: Great idea and great price.
Review: This is a wonderful merger of modern technology, permitting us to listen to over 50 hours of arguments. If you like the CD-ROM, check out the OYEZ web site at oyez.nwu.edu. Professor Goldman has done another great job.

Summary: Great resource to this student!
Review: This program has brought the subject material to life. As well as reading about important comms law cases, I am also able to listen to the actual argument. It has made the class 3 times as fun! This should be required material.

Summary: An invaluable tool for lawyers, law students, and historians
Review: Until Jerry Goldman created his innovative Oyez website, the experience of listening to an actual Supreme Court oral argument was available only to the lucky few hundred people who could secure a seat in the Court's formal courtroom (and to those who would travel to Washington, DC and listen to the tapes at the National Archives). Now that experience is available to anyone who has a reasonably good computer with speakers and a CD drive. Drawing on but also adding to material available on the groundbreaking Oyez site, Goldman has created a remarkable resource that makes history come alive. Litigators can listen, and learn from, some of the best appellate advocates in the country. Law students can also gain many lessons here in the craft of argument, as well as insights into some of the Court's most important decisions. This CD should be in the collection of everyone who is interested in the Supreme Court and how it functions. Especially impressive are the "highlights" links that take the listener to key exchanges between the Justices and the lawyers. Often these are points on which the decision turned. A must-have for any serious student of the Court and of appellate advocacy.
