Thoroughly researched, and learned a lot about the way the Supreme Court works. I feel a bit bad rating it 3 stars, because it *is* well-written, and is readable to a layman with no experience in law. I can't point to anything I disliked about it. It's just not a topic I think speaks to be particularly. I guess it's a good thing I didn't go to law school after all, perhaps!
