If you teach social studies then you need to have this. Students should be aware of how society works and what rights they have. Telling them about a bunch of tea in Boston Harbor or MLK's march without giving them a connection to modern day thinking and a reality that they can see first hand does nothing for them. Teach early, teach often, keep this book on hand. You'll be glad you did.
If you like reading and talking about Supreme Court cases, you will like this book.It also gives details about the life of the Supreme Court justices.
