Summary: Very Informative and Well Written
Comment: When I first read this book, I prepared myself for somewhat of a conservative slant, given the tone of many of Rehnquist's decisions since he was appointed to the Court in 1971. However, and quite surprisingly, this book is well-written and does not attempt to present a conservative view of the Supreme Court. As the previous customer reviewer noted, this is an excellent book for the layperson who wants to understand how the Court functions. As an attorney, I find it concise and written so as to explain the inner workings of the Court without trying to be patronizing or condescending. I'm highly impressed!

Rating: 4
Summary: A good book for laymen
Comment: In this book, Chief Justice Rehnquist describes what the Court was like in its early years, includes some of the personal experiences he had with the Court as a young law clerk, and touches briefly on how the Court works today (or, in 1989).

Primarily written to non-lawyers, Rehnquist's book would be of most value to common citizens wishing to know a little more about the Supreme Court. Laymen will be pleased that Rehnquist takes care to define some of the legal terms used by the Court, and that the book reads in a way that is fairly easy to understand.
