In this remarkable four-volume set geared to middle school users, Brannen and Hanes profile approximately 150 Supreme Court decisions handed down between 1803 and 2000.  These are decisions that have had a significant impact on the legal, political, and social affairs of the nation. ... This set is unique in tha the authors make court decisions and their impact understandable to younger readers.  It is highly recommended for all middle schools as well as high schools in the United States.  The work should also be found in public libraries of all sizes.  Community college libraries should give serious consideration to purchase the set as well.   --  ARBA (2002)

...a highly readable introduction,..Unhappily, none of the cases cite the full text of the original opinion, and important phrases like stare decisis are omitted from the glossary.  Rival works provide equally careful and accessible discussions of important Supreme Court cases but avoid the problems of this work.   -- Choice (June 2001)

An excellent addition to media center collections for applications in both social studies and language arts, this set will be an especially useful reference when students need to retrieve concise information on Supreme Courts cases...This authoritative source will take the place of other individual volumes on these court cases.  Highly recommended.   -- Book Report (October 2001)

Gr 6-9&#151A useful work for students needing basic, accessible descriptions of the court's major decisions...A good resource for middle school researchers and older reluctant students.   -- School Library Journal (May 2001)
