A guide to the American legal system, told through the story of two
actual court cases The Steps to the Supreme Court takes a lively,
narrative approach to the subject by following two real cases--one
civil, one criminal--as they work their way through the system all

Court bar, this book brings the legal system to life in a
practical, accessible, and compelling way. Covers the key legal
terms, principles, and processes you need to have a basic grasp of

murder trial of Paul House and follows the defendant from the night
of the murder through his conviction, appeals, and final chance for
exoneration at the hands of the Supreme Court Follows a civil case
concerning the Ten Commandments being displayed on public property,
following the parties from the time the plaintiffs filed their
complaints through the Supreme Court decisions and back to the
aftermath in the lower courts as they wrestle with a divided
complex ruling Written by the author of A People's History of the
Supreme Court , and other classic works on the American justice
system
