The Judicial System: A Reference Handbook provides an authoritative
and accessible one-stop resource for understanding the U.S.
judicial system and its place in the fabric of American government
and society. The American judicial system plays a central role in
setting and enforcing the legal rules under which the people of the
United States live. U.S. courts and laws, though, are complex and
often criticized for bias and other alleged shortcomings, The U.S.
Supreme Court has emerged as a particular focal point of political
partisanship and controversy, both in terms of the legal decisions
it hands down and the makeup of its membership. Like other books in
the Contemporary World Issues series, this volume comprises seven
chapters. Chapter 1 presents the origins, development, and current
characteristics of the American judicial system. Chapter 2
discusses problems and controversies orbiting around the U.S.
justice system today. Chapter 3 features a wide-ranging collection
of essays that examine and illuminate various aspects of the
judicial system. Chapter 4 profiles influential organizations and
people related to the justice system, and Chapter 5 offers relevant
data and documents about U.S. courts. Chapter 6 is composed of an
annotated list of important resources, while Chapter 7 offers a
useful chronology of events. Explains the responsibilities and
authority of the United States' many different types of courts and
how they fit together Explores major controversies surrounding the
U.S. judicial system, including politicization of the courts and
bias in the criminal justice system Provides wide-ranging
perspectives on the judicial system from reformers, court
employees, and scholars Provides a comprehensive annotated list of
resources for further reading and research
