«The Supremes» brings to life the nine justices of the current U.S. Supreme Court, illuminating the intriguing stories of the high court’s members through engaging portrayals of each justice’s biography, judicial philosophy, and personality. Dr. Perry, who met with all nine justices during her judicial fellowship at the Supreme Court in 1994-1995, captures the essence of the varied personal and professional paths that led these jurists to the nation’s highest tribunal. This work constitutes a unique resource for both veteran and new observers of the Supreme Court.
