Storm Center: The Supreme Court in American Politics

For your courses on judicial process, the Supreme Court, constitutional law, and American government... With the retirements of several liberal justices, the Supreme Court has taken historic steps under the leadership of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. This new edition takes account of these significant changes and how they affect the Court and American society. David M. O'Brien again shows students how the Supreme Court is a "storm center" of political controversy--"the least dangerous branch" of government where personality, politics, law, and justice come together to shape and often change drastically the society in which they live.
