Epps succinctly outlines one opinion or dissent from each of the justices during the recent term, using it to illuminate the political and ideological views that prevail on the Court. The result is a highly readable summary of the term's most controversial cases as well as a probing investigation of the issues and personalities that shape the Court's decisions. Accompanied by a concise overview of Supreme Court procedure and brief case summaries, American Justice 2014 is an engaging and instructive read for seasoned Court-watchers as well as legal novices eager for an introduction to the least-understood branch of government. This revealing portrait of a year in legal action dramatizes the ways that the Court has come to reflect and encourage the polarization that increasingly defines American politics. 606 $aCourts of last resort$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aLAW / Constitutional$2bisacsh 610 $aHuman Rights. 610 $aLaw. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$aCourts of last resort$xHistory. 615 7$aLAW / Constitutional. 676 $a347.7326 700 $aEpps$b Garrett$01593644 702 $aHubbard$b John 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810035603321 996 $aAmerican justice 2014$93913879 997 $aUNINA
