The Judicial Branch
For his first chapter, author Hamed Madani uses the disputed outcome of the 2000 presidential election as the backdrop to introduce the United States Supreme Court. Detailed chapters follow, explaining the history of the Judiciary, its organization and responsibilities, important cases that have challenged the court over time, key people in the office, and what the judicial branch does today.

Federal Government series. This series provides insight into operations of the three major branches of U.S. government plus other lesser-known agencies. The texts, though dry, are well researched and informative. While the photographs add interest, some are fuzzy or otherwise of poor quality. Reproductions of screen shots are too small for easy reading, but web addresses will be useful for those who want additional information. Websites. Bib., glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Fall 2008
