Judicial Process in America

Book info: Judicial Process in America (Paperback, 488 pages) – CQ Press, 2016. Language: English.

Known for shedding light on the link among the courts, public policy, and the political environment, Judicial Process in America provides a comprehensive overview of the American judiciary. It considers judges, lawyers, and litigants, as well as the variables at play in judicial decision making. In this Tenth Edition, authors Robert A. Carp, Ronald Stidham, Kenneth L. Manning, and Lisa M. Holmes examine the recent Supreme Court rulings on same-sex marriage and health care subsidies, the effect of three women justices on the Court’s patterns of decision, and the policy-making role of state tribunals. Original data on the decision-making behavior of the Obama trial judges―which are unavailable anywhere else―ensure this text’s position as a standard bearer in the field.
