The fascinating sequel to the bestselling book-and-tape set, May It Please the Court series offers actual Supreme Court oral arguments on the constitutional rights of students, focusing on Supreme Court cases involving students' and teachers' constitutional rights. In many towns and cities, public schools become the arena in which conflicts that begin in homes, churches, and meeting halls are fought. Issues involving prayer, newspaper and library censorship, political protest, drug testing, illegal aliens, and corporal punishment spill into classrooms and result in lawsuits. This new set of landmark "school rights" cases features narrated tape recordings of sixteen actual oral arguments made before the Supreme Court, together with a hardcover book of transcripts, excerpts from the Court's rulings, and photographs of the students and teachers involved. Featuring nationally known figures, including attorney Kenneth Starr and Justices Thurgood Marshall and Earl Warren, these recordings offer an unrivaled view of the Supreme Court in action and an unparalleled opportunity to explore some of the most explosive constitutional debates of our time.

This item includes:

Four ninety-minute cassettes: Edited, live recordings of the oral arguments and questioning from sixteen cases--including twelve never before published--with narration by Peter Irons identifying the speakers and putting the arguments in context.

A 320-page hardcover book: Transcriptions of the arguments, excerpts from the opinions and the key dissents, and photos of the students who took their cases all the way to the Supreme Court.
