A find portrait of the Court by an expert who has viewed it from inside as well as outside."-James MacGregor Burns Williams College "Barbara Perry's book addresses the questions outsiders are asking about the U.S. Supreme Court. From the stripes on the chief justice's robe to the classical symbolism of the "marble temple," The Priestly tribe illuminates the public images of the Supreme Court. This book stands along side Storm Center as a major contribution."-John Brigham Professor University of Massachusetts, Amherst "With this book, Barbara Perry establishes herself as one of the nation's most perceptive observers of the Supreme Court. Blessed with keen insight and good judgment, she explores the Supreme Court's image in the American mind and the importance of maintaining the Court's symbolism and legitimacy. In writing [this book], Professor Perry serves the best interests of both the Court and the country."-A.E. Dick Howard White Burkett Miller Professor of Law and Public Affairs University of Virginia
Perry illuminates the Supreme Court's unique advantages in sustaining a noble public image by its stewardship of the revered Constitution, its constant embrace of the rule of law, the justices' life tenure, its symbols of impartiality and integrity, and a resolute determination to keep its distance from the media. She argues that the Court has bolstered these advantages to avoid traps that have marred Congressional and presidential images, and she demonstrates how the Court has escaped the worst of media coverage. In this detailed examination of the Court, its justices, decisions, facilities, and programs as well as its place in modern American culture, Perry illustrates that the Court has consciously endeavored to preserve its exalted standing. The Priestly Tribe provides an original and insightful analysis of this intriguing judicial institution for students and scholars of the Court and the general public.
