To illustrate the workings of the judicial system and the Supreme Court, legal history of the Wagner Labor Relations Act is shown. The act is de- clared unconstitutional in lesser courts but the decisions are appealed until the case reaches the Supreme Court. Here the New Deal gains its first major victory: the Wagner Act is declared constitutional. The discussion then switches to brief sketches of each of the nine justices sitting on the bench at that time: Hughes, Van Devan- ter, McReynolds, Brandeis, Butler, Suther- land, Stone, Roberts, and Cardozo."
