From the Bookshelf: A People's History of the Supreme Court Between trying to write a paper on Three Strikes in California, posting flyers for the Lobby Corp's "It's Coming..." campaign, prepare for two exams next week, handle graduation details (8 weeks away, and people are already asking), find a job for the Summer (Athens or Boston, whoever gets back to me first), prepare for Law School (LSAT nerves!), and have some resemblance of a Spring Break, I decided to pick up a new book to read. While only having read the introduction sofar, A People's History of the Supreme Court by Peter Irons, looks to be a really intersting book. In my undergrad Con Law class, my professor talks about the legal ramifications of the Courts decisions on the laws, but he discusses very little about the actual parties and how the cases affected them. Having been a party to an important case myself, their is often more to a case then what is argued in the courtroom. Based off the very popular A People's History of the United States the book attempts to bring a human element to the biggest legal decisions in the Courts history. Hopefully, I'll have some time to finish this interesting book. But between writing papers and trying to have some social activities, this book may become an innocent victim of the steamroller of time.
