The Behavior of Federal Judges: A Theoretical and Empirical Study of Rational Choice by Lee Epstein, William M. Landes and Richard A. Posner
Requirements: PDF Reader, Size: 1.40 Mb
Overview: Judges play a central role in the American legal system, but their behavior as decision-makers is not well understood, even among themselves. The system permits judges to be quite secretive (and most of them are), so indirect methods are required to make sense of their behavior. Here, a political scientist, an economist, and a judge work together to construct a unified theory of judicial decision-making. Using statistical methods to test hypotheses, they dispel the mystery of how judicial decisions in district courts, circuit courts, and the Supreme Court are made.
