Abstract
Two books look at the impact of the nation’s highest court.
A major Supreme Court case simultaneously resolves a dispute between specific litigants, changes or reaffirms major principles of law, and affects social and political gravity. Both Coyle (The Roberts Court) and Tribe (Uncertain Justice) explore all three of those levels. Both authors also understand that the key to making the Supreme Court accessible and interesting lies in the institution’s intimacy.
