O Supremo por seus Assessores apresenta comentários de colaboradores internos a significativos acórdãos do Supremo Tribunal Federal proferidos sob a Constituição de 1988. Testemunhas privilegiadas, assessores, atuais e antigos, selecionaram pérolas da jurisprudência – algumas não muito conhecidas do público externo – que ajudam a compreender o desenvolvimento do papel institucional da Suprema Corte brasileira. Este livro reúne trabalhos de excepcional qualidade, escritos por assessores também de ontem e de hoje, sob a coordenação de dois deles, responsáveis pela magnífica apresentação da obra. (...) A matéria sobre que trabalharam é o produto do próprio tribunal, lavrado ao longo de seus julgamentos de maior interesse doutrinário. Ninguém supera a maestria desses autores, embora todos jovens, para falar com autoridade sobre a obra do Supremo neste momento crucial de sua história. In Prefácio de Ministro Francisco Rezek.
