"In his typically wise and witty style, Garrett Epps has produced a closeup of the Court's most recent term that illuminates both the justices and the cases. Supreme Court enthusiasts as well as readers who tune in only for the big decisions will find American Justice 2014 a valuable guide to the Roberts Court's immediate past and likely future."—Linda Greenhouse, Yale Law School

"With American Justice 2014, Garrett Epps brings us on a whirlwind tour of one of the most important Supreme Court terms in recent memory. With a deft eye for the places where judicial ideology, experience, and worldview clash with doctrine, constitutional history, and cultural trends, American Justice 2014 tells us as much about the nine jurists who currently sit at the high court as it does about the twists and turns of constitutional change. This book is a must-read for anyone who believes that justices are people, and that law is less about balls and strikes than who's in the game."—Dahlia Lithwick, Senior Editor at Slate
