Acclaimed journalist Jeffrey Toobin takes us into the chambers of the  most important—and secret—legal body in our country, the Supreme Court, revealing  the complex dynamic among the nine people who decide the law of the land. An institution  at a moment of transition, the Court now stands at a crucial point, with major changes  in store on such issues as abortion, civil rights, and church-state relations. Based  on exclusive interviews with the justices and with a keen sense of the Court’s history  and the trajectory of its future, Jeffrey Toobin creates in The Nine a riveting story  of one of the most important forces in American life today.
