Storm Center: The Supreme Court in American Politics (Tenth Edition)

An inside look at the workings of the Supreme Court written by a top scholar and commentator.

O’Brien shows students how the Supreme Court is a “storm center” of political controversy, where personality, politics, law, and justice come together to help determine the course of public policy.
