Strategy on the United States Supreme Court de Saul Brenner

Strategy on the United States Supreme Court

Autor Saul Brenner, Joseph M. Whitmeyer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 feb 2009
To what extent do the justices on the Supreme Court behave strategically? In Strategy on the United States Supreme Court, Saul Brenner and Joseph M. Whitmeyer investigate the answers to this question and reveal that justices are substantially less strategic than many Supreme Court scholars believe. By examining the research to date on each of the justice's important activities, Brenner and Whitmeyer's work shows that the justices often do not cast their certiorari votes in accord with the outcome-prediction strategy, that the other members of the conference coalition bargain successfully with the majority opinion writer in less than 6 percent of the situations, and that most of the fluidity in voting on the Court is nonstrategic. This work is essential to understanding how strategic behavior - or its absence - influences the decisions of the Supreme Court and, as a result, American politics and society.

Recenzii

“This book challenges the widely held view that Supreme Court justices as decision makers are highly strategic. Offering theoretical arguments and using empirical evidence, Brenner and Whitmeyer provide fresh perspectives on judicial strategy. This important book deserves the attention of scholars and students who seek to understand judicial behavior.”
– Lawrence Baum, Professor of Political Science, Ohio State University
“Whether the justices of the United States Supreme Court engage in strategic behavior has been heavily debated, studied, and modeled for many years. Unfortunately, researchers working on one area of Court decision making often do not consider how the theory behind their approach applies in other areas. In Strategy on the Supreme Court, Brenner and Whitmeyer address this shortcoming by pulling together varied research on the extent to which strategy is used by the justices. They begin with an introduction of the basic models (legal, attitudinal, strategic) and then proceed to examine each in the context of specific decision making (cert vote, conference vote, vote on the merits). Even if one were to disagree with the authors’ conclusions, the meta-analysis of the studies will be very useful to scholars and students of the Supreme Court.”
– Timothy M. Hagle, Associate Professor of Political Science, The University of Iowa
"The authors of this short text are very well-qualified to prepare this study of the inner working of the US Supreme Court. Brenner has published extensively on what is termed 'fluidity' on the High Court, and his colleague, Whitmeyer, is a recognized expert in 'small-group processes.'...The book is clearly written and contains a useful set of references along with a very complete index."
CHOICE, R.A. Carp, University of Houston
"...the book provides an accessible assessment of the literature that should demystify rational-choice research on the courts for students and serve as a useful starting point for the critical discussion of the strength of empirical data underlying alternative models of judging."
Perspectives on Politics, Eileen Braman, Indiana University
