Supreme Court decisions (1803-2017)

Covers important historical documents from the U.S. Supreme Court as well as other courts in American history.

Mangoes, mischief, and tales of friendship

"In these tales inspired by traditional Indian folktales, Prince Veera and his best friend Suku are given the opportunity to preside over the court of his father, King Bheema. Some of the subjects' complaints are easy to address, but others are much more challenging. How should they handle the case of the merchant who wants to charge people for enjoying the smells of his sweets? Or settle the dispute between a man who sells a well to a neighbor, but not the water inside? Or solve the mystery of the jewels that have turned into pickles?"--OCLC.
