An indispensable reference for students studying the Court
Specifically written to engage high-school students, Student's
Guide to the Supreme Court presents a comprehensive overview of the
history, traditions, and people of the highest court in the land.
This one-stop source does not require any prior knowledge of the
Supreme Court and covers topics that meet national high school
curriculum standards. Part One consists of three informative
essays: The Supreme Court: The Weakest or the Strongest Branch? How
Does the President Nominate a Supreme Court Justice? Do They
Matter? How Supreme Court Decisions Affect Modern American Life.
Part Two is an alphabetical section of key words and legal concepts
spanning abortion to writs of mandamus. The members of the current
Roberts Court-including Sonia Sotomayor-are profiled here, as are
all chief justices and notable associate justices. Part Three
complements the first two sections with a generous sampling of
influential primary source documents, including landmark decisions,
excerpts from justices' papers, political cartoons, and
constitutional provisions related to the Supreme Court. Key
