From the origins of the court to modern practical
matters--including the federal judiciary system, the Supreme
Court's session schedule, and the argument, decision, and appeal
process--this resource provides detailed answers on all aspects of
the Supreme Court. Exploring the social, cultural, and political
atmosphere in which judges are nominated and serve, this guide book
answers questions such as "When did the tradition of nine justices
on the bench begin?" "When did the practice of hiring law clerks to
assist with legal research and writing begin?" and "How do cases
reach the Supreme Court?" Details on historic decisions--including
"Marbury v. Madison," "Brown v. Board of Education," "Miranda v.
Arizona," and "Bush v. Gore"--accompany a thorough history of all
17 Supreme Court Chief Justices.
