Description: |
The authors argue that the increase in the number of Republican appointees to the US Supreme Court and the increased sophistication of state offices of attorneys general has resulted in an increase in state government presence and success before the Supreme Court as states pursue policy interests. |
Synopsis: |
Waltenburg and Swinford provide a detailed and systematic examination of state government activity before the U.S. Supreme Court. They provide an explanatory model of state litigation behavior that both rests upon a solid theoretical perspective and places state decisions in a larger political context. After an examination of the evolution of U.S. constitutional law on issues of direct state concern, Waltenburg and Swinford focus most of their attention on qualitative and quanitative analyses of the behavior over time of states in all their roles before the Court. Scholars and other researchers interested in judicial decision-making, Constitutional Law, and inter-governmental relations will find this a particularly useful study. |
