Title: An expose' on how the "High Nine" dispense (in?)justice.
Review: While in law school, I spent a short time as an extern law clerk for the chief justice of a state supreme court. Contrary to David Garrow's (New York Times) debunking of Lazarus' experience, I found it to be right on point--at least as far as the basic operation of a supreme court goes. Readers will be appropriately shocked to learn that this "court of last resort" is not interested in the outcome of a case as it pertains to the individual parties' constitutional rights; rather, it's the legal principles that an individual's case might be used as a vehicle for the current court to make changes in the law. This book will accurately alert the reader to some "unhealthy" Court practices that ultimately can--and already have affected every individual's rights in the country. The book is easy to read, although the pace is somewhat slower than necessary in some parts.DO read this book!
