For more than two centuries, the Supreme Court has exerted extraordinary influence over the way we live our daily lives. This series of 36 clear and insightful lectures - delivered by an award-winning teacher and widely respected authority on the Supreme Court - answers many questions about the Court as it traces the development of the Court from a body having little power or prestige to its current status as "the most powerful and prestigious judicial institution in the world."

Fantastic History

You'll love this book even if you are not a lawyer!! The professor explains issues, personalities and history so well in each lecture so that the listener fully understands the context of opinions and their importance to American jurisprudence. Had my con law class been this interesting, my practice might have taken a different path!!

Fabulous Book

Would you listen to The Quartet again? Why?
Yes, for the historical accuracy.
Any additional comments?
This is a magnificent gathering of historical fact to explain the birth of our nation. I am embarrassed to say that I never knew how utterly active Washington was in the politics of getting the Constitution passed, nor the lackluster performance of their duties by the States. An all around great read for students and lovers of history!
