Definition

Led the Supreme Court from 1953 to 1969 and directed a broadly liberal jurisprudence that reshaped federal judicial power and civil liberties. Through landmark rulings such as Brown v. Board of Education, Gideon v. Wainwright, Miranda v. Arizona, and Baker v. Carr, the Court expanded equal protection and due process under the Fourteenth Amendment and strengthened judicial oversight of state and political actions.
