My colleagues on the ELS Blog are hopelessly modest, so I cannot count on them to mention, much less tout, their academic accomplishments. Fortunately, based on my prior book orders, Amazon sent me an email informing me that I ought to buy Decision Making in the U.S. Court of Appeals (Stanford 2007) by Frank Cross.
According to Cass Sunstein, “This is one of the most important empirical studies ever of the federal judiciary. Many of Cross’s findings are striking and fresh, and he is able to show that the simple ‘realist’ story underrates the role of legal constraints—and that ideology matters too.”
