Just what it says: a short (but excellent) introduction to the Supreme Court by one of the best reporters around.

This little book is a very informative resource about the Constitution and the Supreme Court. Greenhouse gives a brief history of our nation's highest court and its role of exercising "judicial review" of laws passed by Congress, judging cases concerning any violations of Constitutional law by federal or state agencies and preserving the civil rights of individuals.The greatest responsibility of our justices is to interpret the Constitution maintaining our heritage of liberty and civil rights, guaranteeing our freedoms that make our nation the greatest country on earth. Every responsible citizen should know what is in our Constitution and the twenty seven Amendments.

Really well written. Good for the smart layperson. Not for layabouts.

I got this book because I was teaching a Supreme Court course to a class of high school juniors and seniors. I already selected John MacGregror Burns's Packing the Court as my main text. But this could have served as the textbook if I had chosen a different direction. The book accomplishes what its title promises. Accessible and clear. A good intro for anyone wanting to learn how the Court works.
