Produktbeschreibung

You don't have to be a lawyer or a Supreme Court junkie to enjoy this book: it is as good a description--for a general audience as well as a legally trained one--of the real people and cases that come before the Supreme Court as we have ever had. This book is a joy to read."--Floyd Abrams, Constitutional attorney
