David O'Brien shows students how the Supreme Court is a 'œstorm center' of political controversy where personality, politics, law, and justice converge. This thoroughly updated Eighth Edition of Storm Center continues to chart historic steps taken by the Court, and features an in-depth discussion of the Court's continuing turn to the right and the first term of Chief Justice John Roberts.

The Author David M. O'Brien is the Leone Reaves and George W. Spicer Professor of Government and Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia. He is the author of several books, including the two-volume casebook Constitutional Law and Politics, Seventh Edition.
