Publisher's Synopsis
"A Supreme Court justice's job is to uphold the U.S. Constitution. While that sounds simple, their interpretation of how to do that and what the Constitution means can vary quite a bit from another justice's! This valuable volume about the top tier of the judicial branch of the United States invites readers into the hallowed chambers of the Supreme Court. They'll learn how justices are nominated, how they're confirmed, and their judicial duties after that. Sidebars, fact boxes, and photographs will further engage future legal experts with important parts of the social studies curriculum"--.
