American Judicial Politics (2nd Edition)

Targeted to students and teachers who have a background in the basics of American government and constitutional law and who are ready to seriously address the roles of the judicial establishment, how the judiciary is structured, how judicial processes are played out, and the extent and nature of judicial outcomes that can be explained by tangential political forces. Continues and expands an emphasis on jurisprudence, discussing also what conceptualizations of law and courts, past and present, are most useful in helping orient present thinking.
