- Class Notes:
- The aim of this seminar is to provide an introduction to the literature in the field of judicial politics. Particular emphasis will be placed on the Supreme Court. We will discuss some of the classics in the field of judicial politics as well as some of the more recent work that is being done by scholars of the courts. My goals are to: (1) introduce graduate students to the literature in judicial process and behavior and, in so doing, discuss some of the most important debates (both past and present) in the sub-field; and (2) underscore the importance of sound theoretical arguments, careful research designs, and compelling empirical results. This course is taught from the perspective that the study of courts should be (and currently is) closely connected to the theoretical and empirical traditions in American Politics. As such, we will focus on the scientific study of judicial process and politics, analyzing the substantive, theoretical, and methodological developments in the field.
