 The Chief Justiceship of Melville v. Fuller: 1888-1910
However, Ely notes that while the Fuller Court in the Insular Cases seemed to set separate rules for how the United States governs it territories, Fuller himself felt that the standards used by the government to government its territories must be the same as those found in the rest of the Untied States.
While the Fuller Court is most famous for its economic cases, the Court did decide issues beyond that, and Ely is able to explain why the economic decisions came out the way they did by placing them in the context of many other Fuller Court decisions and past precedents that the Fuller Court inherited.
If Ely wishes to argue that one of Fuller's great accomplishments is his administrative skills and ability to build coalitions and form consensus, either too little is devoted to either subject or several of the issues the author does discuss suggest that Fuller was not always in control of his own Court.
