The Supreme Court is the final arbiter of the law. It promises to provide "equal justice under law" to all Americans. In this educational book, readers will learn about the Supreme Court and how it operates. They'll discover who the Chief Justice is, how judicial appointments are made, and how the Supreme Court has shaped our society. Brightly colored photographs enliven the text and quotes from key historical figures and present-day politicians enrich it. Readers are also encouraged to practice critical thinking skills by answering a writing prompt in the final chapter.
