Shadow Of Doubt: Probing The Supreme Court

Published by Newsbreak, the book, the first of its kind in the country written by Philippine journalist Marites Dañguilan Vitug, will open the tightly shut windows of the Court and give the readers a glimpse of the least visible branch of government.

Shadow of Doubt will introduce the public to the internal dynamics on the Philippine Supreme Court, give an idea of how the justices behave and think.

Asked why she wrote this book, Vitug replied: “I was so intrigued by the secrecy that wraps the Court, its culture of confidentiality. The Supreme Court is an important institution yet it's not really scrutinized.”

Shadow Of Doubt is Vitug’s fourth book.
