What is the Supreme Court? / by Jill Abramson ; illustrated by Gregory Copeland.
"Best-selling author, former executive editor of the New York Times, and self-confessed political junkie, Jill Abramson has written a detailed and fascinating book that explains how the highest court in the United States works, who gets to serve on it, which cases have had the greatest impact on the country, and why the US justice system is so vital to democracy."-- Provided by publisher.
