Title: Judicial Politics
Description: An overview of the major debates in Judicial Politics. Course goals are to familiarize students with the principal questions being asked by scholars in this subfield, the methodological approaches employed, and the avenues available for future research. Primary focus is on law and courts as political institutions and judges as political actors. We examine decision making and power relations within courts, within the judicial hierarchy, and within the constitutional system. Although U.S. courts are our primary focus, some material on other courts will also be covered.
