An indispensable reference for students studying the Court

Specifically written to engage high-school students, Student’s Guide to the Supreme

Court presents a comprehensive overview of the history, traditions, and people of the highest court in the land. This one-stop source does not require any prior knowledge of the Supreme Court and covers topics that meet national high school curriculum standards.
