      abstract = {The Law As It Could Be gathers Fiss's most important work  on procedure, adjudication and public reason, introduced by  the author and including contextual introductions for each  piece-some of which are among the most cited in Twentieth  Century legal studies. Fiss surveys the legal terrain  between the landmark cases of Brown v. Board of Education  and Bush v. Gore to reclaim the legal legacy of the Civil  Rights Movement. He argues forcefully for a vision of  judges as instruments of public reason and of the courts as  a means of shaping society in the image of the  Constitution. In building his argument, Fiss attends to  topics as diverse as the use of the injunction to  restructure social institutions; how law and economics have  misunderstood the role of the judge; why the movement  seeking alternatives to adjudication fails to serve the  public interest; and why Bush v. Gore was not the  constitutional crisis some would have us believe. In so  doing, Fiss reveals a vision of adjudication that  vindicates the public reason on which Brown v. Board of  Education was founded.},
