The Burger Court gathers the justices who served under Chief Justice Warren Burger from 1969 to 1986, an era that both extended and limited the Warren Court's legacy, recognizing a constitutional right to abortion in Roe v. Wade, ordering school busing to remedy segregation, ruling on the Pentagon Papers and the Nixon tapes, and beginning the retrenchment of some of the prior era's criminal-procedure protections.
