Reviews
Booklist , May 15, 2010<br> C-SPAN set out to do a documentary on the history of the stately Supreme Court building when a confluence of circumstances turned the project into a collection of interviews with the then-sitting jurists, as well as retired Associate Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and recently seated Justice Sonia Sotomayor. To get such broad access to this group of famously media-shy figures was a major coup... The total package is a fascinating look. <br><br> PoliticsDaily , April 29, 2010<br> C-SPAN, the treasured chronicler of American public affairs, has yet again provided a valuable service with a new documentary book about the Supreme Court. ...Very helpful is a good way to describe C-SPAN's book and its continuing efforts to educate Americans about what the Supreme Court is and is not. How about Brian Lamb as the next justice? <br>
