"The Supremes"

By Beverly Burmeister

The Law Library has two new books about the Supreme Court. The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin takes the reader into the chambers of the Court for an "inside" look. Toobin -- author, New Yorker staff writer, and CNN legal analyst --based his book on exclusive interviews with the justices. Read the New York Times review and the NPR profile.

America's Supreme Court: An Unfinished Symphony by Richard H.W. Maloy reviews 182 cases decided by the Supreme Court from 1789 through 2005. He divides this time frame into four distinct "movements" with their own characteristics, as are most symphonic works. The fourth "movement" is still "unfinished." Maloy is Visiting Professor of Law at St. Thomas University School of Law in Miami.

These books are currently on the "New Books" display at the Law Library.
