This program recounts the contributions of the Chief Justices to American life and describes what goes on in the Supreme Court, how it operates, what kinds of cases it hears, what kinds of cases it will not hear, and how a case gets on the Court's docket. The program traces how the Court developed, how its powers and processes evolved, and demonstrates how a landmark case moves through the Court. The program is divided in three parts: Establishing the Court; Interpreting the Law; and How the Court Works
