From Booklist:
Reviewed with Simone Payment's Roe v. Wade.
Gr. 5-7. Despite a somewhat misleading series title, Supreme Court Cases through Primary Sources, these useful resources have plenty to offer. Each combines a selection of pictures and photographed documents with a concise but unusually specific account of a major, contemporary Supreme Court case's full-course and core arguments, from inception to final decision. Readers will get a good sense of how the U.S. judicial system generally works, and at least a taste of how legal-style logic has been applied to clarify or redefine Constitutional principles. The authors also present opposing legal, moral, and ethical positions (but shy away from religious ones), and they close with brief reviews of public reactions to each decision. Aside from scattered quotations in the text, the illustrations constitute the only "primary sources" here, but these studies are more likely to engage readers in legal issues and process than the more detailed but drier corresponding volumes in Enslow's Landmark Supreme Court Cases series. Several helpful lists of further resources are appended. John Peters
