While other terms may have had bigger cases that the public would recognize, several fundamental issues were addressed by the Court. In addition, a justice who was pivotal in the resulting decision is highlighted along with a good explanation of the constitutional issues. For a reader interested in understanding the Supreme Court's function in our society, A Year in the Life of the Supreme Court is not only a good introduction, it is a definitive profile of the Court from a trained observer's perspective that should not be missed.
