Book Description
Since the early twentieth century, the Rule of Four has required the assent of at least four justices for a certiorari petition to receive full review by the Supreme Court. This rule changed during the 1970s, when justices began to cast "Join-3" votes. Despite the significance of these votes, scholars have simply treated them as votes to Grant review. We analyze the conditions under which justices cast Join-3 votes and determine whether it is appropriate to treat them as Grant votes. Our results show that collegiality and uncertainty drive the decision to cast Join-3 votes and that it is inappropriate to pool Join-3 and Grant votes together. We discuss alternative coding practices for agenda-setting scholars.

Deciding to Decide
Author: H. W. Perry
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674042063
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Of the nearly five thousand cases presented to the Supreme Court each year, less than 5 percent are granted review. How the Court sets its agenda, therefore, is perhaps as important as how it decides cases. H. W. Perry, Jr., takes the first hard look at the internal workings of the Supreme Court, illuminating its agenda-setting policies, procedures, and priorities as never before. He conveys a wealth of new information in clear prose and integrates insights he gathered in unprecedented interviews with five justices. For this unique study Perry also interviewed four U.S. solicitors general, several deputy solicitors general, seven judges on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, and sixty-four former Supreme Court law clerks. The clerks and justices spoke frankly with Perry, and his skillful analysis of their responses is the mainspring of this book. His engaging report demystifies the Court, bringing it vividly to life for general readers--as well as political scientists and a wide spectrum of readers throughout the legal profession. Perry not only provides previously unpublished information on how the Court operates but also gives us a new way of thinking about the institution. Among his contributions is a decision-making model that is more convincing and persuasive than the standard model for explaining judicial behavior.

The Separation of Powers and Supreme Court Agenda Setting

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This study employs the first systematic, empirical analysis that relies on archival data to examine whether the separation of powers influences justices' agenda votes. It spatially models how justices set the Court's agenda under a sincere approach as well as an SOP approach and compares the competing expectations derived therefrom. The results suggest that legislative and executive preferences fail to influence justices' votes. Across every model tested, the data show justices uninfluenced by the separation of powers. These results provide a strong rejoinder to SOP models, since the Court's agenda stage is the most likely stage of the decision making process to show signs of an SOP effect.
