Title: Illinois justice
Description: "Illinois political scandals reached new depths in the 1960s and '70s. In Illinois Justice, Ken Manaster takes us behind the scenes of one of the most spectacular. The so-called Scandal of 1969 not only spelled the end of an Illinois Supreme Court chief justice's aspirations to the U.S. Supreme Court, but also marked the beginning the lawyer John Paul Stevens's rise to the high court."--Jacket.
