The book considers judges, lawyers, and litigants, as well as the variables at play in judicial decision making. In this Tenth Edition, the authors 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 behaviour of the Obama trial judges―which are unavailable anywhere else―ensure this text’s position as a standard bearer in the field.
