This seminar is designed to familiarize students with the literature on appellate courts (including the US Supreme Court, the US Court of Appeals, the state courts of last resort, and the Constitutional Courts of other countries). It will cover decision-making, judicial selection, the effects of public opinion on courts and the effect of courts on public opinion, impact and compliance, and interest-group influence.
