ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This New Edition of U.S. Supreme Court Decisions, a case study review for U.S. History and Government, will remain a memorable experience for the 53 students who authored and edited the First Edition of this text, and Jessica Satriano, Briana Scarpinito and myself who have co-authored and edited this New Edition of this guide. We have all spent hundreds of hours bringing the old and new guides together.
