Inhaltsangabe

This book, first published in 2002, asks how federal court judges decide cases when faced with unsettled law issues. Are their decisions influenced by higher court judges or other judges at their same level? Statistical analyses and interviews with judges determine that judges give attention to colleagues, but demonstrate independence from the Supreme Court.

Críticas

"...this book has important things to say about the nature of the judicial process and how we understand the role of law in our legal system. It is one of the more important books on law and courts that has been written in recent years and should qualify as a must-read for all scholars in the law and courts community." Journal of Politics

"Klein's book is one of the best systematic examinations of behavior on the U.S. Courts of Appeals to be produced and it is bound to make a substantial impact on the discipline." The Law and Politics Book Review

"'Outstanding' and 'path breaking' are overused words; nonetheless they accurately describe this book. As a blend of legal and behavioral scholarship it has no peer, a blend produced by the creation of an innovative set of rigorous measures that are certain to be adapted and employed in subsequent work." Harold J. Spaeth, Michigan State University
