Jeffrey Morris considers the ways that a particularly gifted federal judge seized the opportunities available to district judges to influence the results of the cases before him, and employed the tools available to him to make policy having a national impact. The book considers the ways in which the judge, Jack Weinstein of the Eastern District of New York, has been limited by his position. Focusing upon an admitted judicial activist - perhaps the most famous, innovative and controversial district judge sitting today - the book permits a close look at activism at the trial level.
