This latest edition of a venerable reference work incorporates the work of the U.S. Supreme Court through the 2008–2009 term. The body of the work consists of 22 chapters divided into six parts. Volume 1 covers the history of the Court, how the Court has defined the powers of the branches and levels of government, and how the Court has addressed individual rights. In volume 2, part 4 describes congressional, presidential, media, and public pressures on the Court. Part 5 explains court operations, traditions, personnel, courtrooms, and costs. Part 6 provides brief biographies of the 111 justices. Each chapter concludes with footnotes. Appendixes include documents of national importance, Supreme Court nominations, a list of congressional acts held unconstitutional, a chronology of major decisions, a selected bibliography, and “quotes and quips.” Of particular interest is the analysis of personnel changes on the Court since the fourth edition of the Guide was published (2004). These are effectively portrayed through photographs and text. During this period, the Court saw an unusual amount of turnover, starting with John Roberts succeeding William Rehnquist as Chief Justice. Other changes include Samuel Alito replacing the first female Supreme Court justice, Sandra Day O’Connor; and Sonia Sotomayor, the first appointee by President Obama, replacing David Souter. The Guide is designed to be read in sections so that the reader can focus on an area of law, an important decision, or some discrete element in the Court’s history or operations. Therefore, the subject and case indexes are extremely important, and they live up to the task. The Guide will enhance any student’s or researcher’s study of the Supreme Court and is highly recommended for school, public, academic, law, and special libraries. --Janice Lewis

Review

"This is one of the best if not the definitive reference works on the Supreme Court and should be in every academic, medium to large public library, and if the budget permits, in high school libraries."
