about the Cover
For the last issue of this Bar year , we are ending our series featuring courthouses , by highlighting the highest court of our nation , the United States Supreme Court . The Court is the highest tribunal in the Nation for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution or the laws of the United States . As the final arbiter of the law , the Court is charged with ensuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law and , thereby , also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution . The Supreme Court Courthouse was built in 1935 in classical Corinthian architectural style because it best harmonized with nearby congressional buildings .
