tive Law: 1987-1996," was a tour de force summary of the legal status of regulatory
law, with perceptive coverage of issues like delegation of powers, investigatory
power, the right to be heard, and adjudicatory procedure. His Administrative Law:
A Casebook went to its fourth edition in 1994.

But if administrative law was an interest, constitutional law was an obsession.
Once again, he was author of a standard textbook as well as a multi-volumed Com-
mentary on the Constitution of the United States. His works on the Supreme Court
include A History of the Supreme Court; The Warren Court: A Retrospective; The
Unpublished Opinions of the Warren Court and its companions on the Burger and
Rehnquist eras; and the enduring Super Chief: Earl Warren and His Supreme
Court -- A Judicial Biography.

But Bernard Schwartz, for all the seriousness of his scholarship, had a lighter
side, nowhere better in evidence than in A Book of Legal Lists: The Best and Worst
in American Law. This was his own compilation of the ten best and the ten worst
Supreme Court justices, the ten greatest trials, and the ten greatest legal movies.
With humor and imagination, Schwartz staunchly defended his choices, although
he did admit to a colleague that he had perhaps been too harsh on Chief Justice
Salmon P. Chase when he put him on the "ten worst" list. A large audience will
also remember Schwartz's trivia quizzes in the Supreme Court Historical Quarterly.

Over a decade ago, it was noted of Schwartz that he "has read, and retained,
the contents of every constitutional decision of the Supreme Court." Professor
Schwartz modestly replied: "It's a little exaggerated, but I know most of them." He
did, too. He will be greatly missed.
