Description
Summary:The Supreme Court Justices: Illustrated Biographies, 17892012, Third Edition, provides a single-volume reference profiling every Supreme Court justice from John Jay through Elena Kagan.

Essays are arranged in the order of the justices appointments. Lively anecdotes along with portraits, photographs, and political cartoons enrich the text and deepen readers understanding of the justices and the Court. The volume includes an extensive bibliography and is indexed for easy research access.
