Elena Kagan - A Biography (Hardcover)

Readers seeking information about Elena Kagan-from her early life and her ascent to the Supreme Court to how she approaches questions of fairness, justice, equality, and civil rights-will find this biography engaging and invaluable. Elena Kagan can be considered a "wild card" in terms of how she will vote and affect Supreme Court decisions. While largely considered a liberal, her lack of a judicial "track record" and previous work as Solicitor General lend an air of uncertainty as to how she will react to upcoming cases that have proven highly divisive and controversial.

Appropriate for high school, college, and adult readers, the book not only documents Justice Kagan's life, achievements, and the possibilities for the future, but also how Kagan is an inspiring role model who demonstrated independence, determination, and high achievement throughout her career. Presents a clear overview of Kagan's legal thought and writings that reveals the basic tenets of her philosophies Documents Kagan's accomplishments while serving as dean of Harvard Law School and her rise to the bench of the U.S. Supreme Court, giving readers a clear understanding of the steps and circumstances throughout her successful career Illustrates the important differences and similarities between Kagan and recent court appointee Sonia Sotomayor Provides a complete bibliography that will direct students to the most important print and electronic sources of additional information about Kagan
