How do cases get to the Supreme Court? How do the justices go about deciding them? What special role does the chief justice play? What do the law clerks do? Greenhouse answers these questions by depicting the justices as they confront deep constitutional issues and wrestle with the meaning of confusing federal statutes. Throughout, the author examines many individual Supreme Court cases to illustrate points under discussion, and she also makes useful comparisons with foreign courts. The second edition includes new material in the wake of significant shifts in the Court's makeup since the 2016 election. -- From publisher's description. 610 10 $a United States. $b Supreme Court. 610 17 $a United States. $b Supreme Court. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529481 610 17 $a USA $b Supreme Court $2 gnd 650 0 $a Judicial process $z United States. 650 7 $a Judicial process. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984705 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 775 08 $i Revision of: $a Greenhouse, Linda. $t U.S. Supreme Court. $d Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, ââ2012 $z 9780199754540 $w (OCoLC)743432641 $w (OCoLC)743432641 830 0 $a Very short introductions. 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219012803.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210902014010.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505011010.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210422013902.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9A0C4CE6403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
