Summary: first time reading William Coughman
Comment: I found it difficult to stick with this book in the beginning. I actually had trouble staying awake but I was glad that I did stick with it. About midway through, it became more interesting and I enjoyed the ending. I am more of a Grisham or a Scottoline fan.

Summary: In Search of the Right Candidate for the Supreme Court
Comment: I have loved reading all William Coughlin books and was really only terribly disappointed with "The Heart of Justice" published posthumously. I felt he had not finished it prior to his death and it did not have the life and humor of his other works. I saw that The Court was a reprint of his earlier book and was happy to find it. I did enjoy it because I accepted that it might not show the skill displayed in his later novels. It was a simple book, really, but I found it a pleasure to read. I did find it a bit unusual that the President would place such faith in one man's opinion of his choice for the Supreme Court, but I enjoyed the ride. For those who are upset, I feel it is his widow, Ruth, who is probably publishing Bill's earlier works. Read her book "Grieving" and you will never doubt her love for him. I don't believe she would ever publish anything that would hurt him or diminish his reputation as a fine writer.

Summary: Flat and Dull
Comment: I have read many William J. Coughlin novels. I have to agree with another reviewer that this is not a Coughlin book. Since his death, his older books are being rewritten and republished. Who ever is doing the rewrites is destroying Coughlin's good name.
This novel tells the story of a four major cases going to the Supreme Court. The Court is split 4 and 4 , with one judge the swing man. When this Judge has stroke and dies the hunt for a new judge is on. The President is looking for a judge that will vote for keeping the Electoral College in place. This the only way the President can win the next election. In total the other cases are overlooked.
This novel was trying to show the integrity of Washington D.C. It was suppose to show how one hand washes the other and so forth. This novel tried but gave up half way through, and I believe it was the half that was re-written. Also I found gross errors in Michigan geography, such as when flying from Washington D.C. to Detroit how do you fly over Ann Arbor? Coughlin would never make that error.
