GROVE CITY, Pa. – Dr. Michael Coulter ’91, professor of political science and humanities at Grove City College, was recently published in two substantial works of literature.
The first was the five-volume “Encyclopedia of the Supreme Court of the United States” (Macmillan) has 523 entries on specific court cases, 109 biographies and 468 thematic essays ranging in length from 250 to 6,500 words each.
The encyclopedia “examines the Court’s contributions to the American experience from the daunting task of establishing and maintaining the New Republic in the 1790s to grappling with the challenges of the twenty-first century,” wrote Editor-in-Chief David S. Tanenhous.
Coulter was one of 563 authors who wrote for the encyclopedia – “a who’s who of scholars of law and society,” Tanenhous said.
Coulter wrote three entries for the encyclopedia: two 1,500-word case briefs and a 3,000-word entry on the Judiciary Act of 1789, the law that created the judicial branch of the federal government. The 19-pound, five volume, $625 encyclopedia was released on Dec. 5, 2008.
Coulter said that the encyclopedia’s publishing company sought him out for the project. “I had written a smaller piece on the Judiciary Act of 1789, and then they contacted me.” The publishers gave him the option of writing other articles, and Coulter selected the two cases.
In January, Coulter was also published in “Magill’s Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition” (Salem Press). Coulter wrote an entry on Machiavelli’s book “The Prince,” specifically on a story called “Mandragola” that Machiavelli wrote.
“I’ve written for five or six of their [references],” Coulter said of Salem Press. The Machiavelli story is about 3,000 words long.
