A title essential for any middle school collection

The pairing of Newbery Honor winning author McKissack with attorney Arlene Zarembka lends to a title essential for any middle school collection concerned with representing the history and operations of the American justice system: To Establish Justice examines the role the Supreme Court has played in civil rights issues.

To Establish Justice would be a fine guide in any year; but in an election year it holds particular relevance.
