UNBIASED University is in session!

How did the Supreme Court develop into one of the most influential institutions in the country, how are justices selected, and what happens after the Court agrees to hear a case? We walk through the Court’s history, its structure and procedures, the confirmation process for justices, and the role the Court plays in shaping national policy through its decisions.
