Recenzii
'This book is a landmark study of Supreme Court decision making. In testing a nuanced and integrative model of institutional decision making, the authors use statistically sophisticated methods to expand our knowledge and understanding of the modern Court. Well written and accessible, displaying a dazzling command of the literature as well as case law, the authors have produced a work worthy of placement with the classics in the field.' Sheldon Goldman, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
'Scholars of the Court have long attempted to utilize a single model to characterize all judicial decision making. Rather than falling into this trap, Pacelle, Curry, and Marshall make the case in this well-crafted book that single-cause explanations obscure how justices make decisions. The evidence they provide convinces one that none of the attitudinal, strategic, or legal models alone can account for decision making on the Court. If you want to understand the complexity and multifaceted nature of Supreme Court decision making, this is the book.' Forrest Maltzman, George Washington University
'In [this book], Professors Pacelle, Curry, and Marshall contribute a unique bird's-eye view of the modern Court since Brown. By controlling … key factors associated with attitudes, separation of powers, precedent, and issue evolution, the authors' parsimonious models of Supreme Court decision making enable comparison of these influences across the Court's docket and across time. The picture that emerges is one of a Court driven by policy preferences but simultaneously receptive to the preferences of the elected branches and to salient legal arguments. Because the book includes careful case analysis in addition to sophisticated empirical modeling, it speaks to a broad audience in law and social science. For that reason, it will - and deserves to be - widely read by anyone interested in understanding why the Court does what it does.' Stefanie A. Lindquist, A. W. Walker Centennial Chair in Law, University of Texas, Austin
'The authors' rich knowledge of events surrounding the cases that are included in the study makes Decision Making by the Modern Supreme Court an interesting and broadly accessible book that is a welcome addition to the literature on judicial behavior.' Eileen Braman, Indiana University
