This book is an invaluable resource for all AP US Government and
Politics classrooms. The authors have painstakingly poured over
each of the 15 required cases and made them more accessible to high
school students. Not only do they include critical thinking
questions throughout the decision, but they also have excellent
real-life connections at the end that will help any student
successfully connect each case to issues and topics they deal with
on a daily basis, allowing students to see the modern-day relevance
of Supreme Court decisions.

The Supreme 15 is a great one-stop resource that pulls together a
student-friendly compilation of AP Government’s required cases.
Each case’s presentation of the decision cuts to the heart of the
matter, and leaves students with critical questions for extension
to guide classroom discussion. It’s a great way to initiate student
deliberation!

Schools; James Madison Fellow 2016*
Oltman, Graff, and Maddux provide an in-depth analysis that engages
the reader to understand the complexity of constitutional law and
the processes by which our rights are applied. This book is a must
have for supplemental material for the AP Government Curriculum and
gives teachers a much-needed complete resource ready to use!
