Negative Positive
Title: Fails to deliver
Review: Over the course of Lazarus's 500 page tome, I'd guess that, at most, 50 pages are dedicated to the ostensible subject: the behind the scenes workings of the Court. Lazarus describes an extensive Supreme Court history of three divisive issues: capital punishment, race-based remedies, and abortion (the first and last issues covered more completely than race). While he does a fine job with this material, it was not what I expected to find in "Closed Chambers." Those looking for the "inside scoop" are advised to stick with "The Brethren," a book that actually delivers what was promised.
