Bowers v. Hardwick: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

The best single volume on the issues presented in Bowers v. Hardwick and Lawrence v. Texas is David A.J. Richards, The Sodomy Cases (2009). Joyce Murdoch and Deb Price, Courting Justice: Gay Men and Lesbians v. the Supreme Court (2001), is also quite useful. Michael Hardwick’s experiences are discussed in chapter 16 of Peter Irons, The Courage of Their Convictions (1988). Lewis F. Powell’s role is treated in John Calvin Jeffries, Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. (1994).
