<P>This is not a reference to casually dip into and read, though the charts comparing the backgrounds of every Supreme Court justice (birthplace, family status, religious affiliation, ethnic background, parents, occupation, etc.) were interesting. The work is really designed for the researcher looking for information comparing specific historical and current statistics on the court in a succinct and efficient way, and that has been accomplished. Recommended for libraries where there is interest in the Supreme Court.</P>
