Commencing with the notion that rights are derived from a higher, metaphysical power over mere promulgation and human legislation, the natural law advocate sees law and human rights in the context of a more perpetual and perennial philosophy. Coupled with this is the view that natural law provides a series of undeniable precepts for human operations or a natural prescription for human life based on the natural order. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHence early court cases tend to emphasize the “natural” versus the unnatural and just as compellingly argue that the natural order, aligned with the eternal law, delivers a measure for human action. Earlier US Supreme Court cases often use this sort of language in granting or denying rights in certain human activity. As a result, a survey of some of the most significant landmark cases from the Supreme Court are assessed in Natural Law Jurisprudence in U.S. Supreme Court Cases since “Roe v. Wade” and, by implication, those cases which seem to disregard these fundamental principles, such as the slavery decisions, are highlighted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This is a uniquely substantial and eminently satisfying comparative analysis of notable cases since Roe v. Wade, chronicling how fundamental rules for society exist independently of legislatures and writers of constitutions. Charles Nemeth gives the world a masterwork on natural law’s past, present and future relevance to American jurisprudence.” —Kevin H.

As one with an extremely different point of view, I enjoy Chuck’s work as a refreshingly—some might say outrageously—different take on the world from that of almost all my colleagues and friends.” —Daniel L.
