The Burger Court has been described as a 'transitional' court as it continued the liberal legacy of the Warren Court but transitioned into the more conservative Rehnquist Court. The Burger Court had a less generous interpretation of the protections offered by the Fourth and Fifth Amendments than those of the Warren Court, but  did not overrule any of the major precedents set by it. The Burger Court is perhaps best known for its landmark decisions: New York Times v. United States (1971) which allowed the New York Times and Washington Post to publish the Pentagon Papers, Roe v. Wade (1973) which legalized abortion, and United States v. Nixon (1974) which resulted in the impeachment of President Richard Nixon.
