Riassunto
A thorough revision of a tried and true classic, the seventh edition of Judicial Process in America offers a comprehensive study of the American judicial system that integrates new scholarship and original research. Including analysis of the courts at all levels, the authors cover judges, lawyers, and litigants, as well as the powerful variables that influence judicial decision making, effectively linking the courts to public policy. In response to feedback from adopters, the authors have increased their coverage of state courts and further explore the impact of race, gender, and socio-economic factors on the judiciary. Discussion of the ideological impact of George W. Bush s judicial appointments, including two new Supreme Court justices, and inclusion of recent cases on end-of-life issues, property rights, and gay and lesbian rights bring the book fully up to date.
Recensione
Judicial Process in America provides a wonderful approach to studying the courts and judicial process. The authors clearly lay out the structure, process, important players, and the political and societal influences involved in American courts. Carp, Stidham, and Manning incorporate a sound mix of contemporary and classic judicial research to support their well-rounded thesis. Undergraduate students find the book understandable yet challenging. The straightforward approach, without the glossy fluff found in other texts, makes the book appropriate for upper-level undergraduates or beginning graduate students." --Matthew S. Crow, University of West Florida
