This timely Research Handbook offers a comprehensive examination of judicial politics, both in the US and across the globe. Taking a broad view of the judiciary in all levels of the court, it examines the present state of the field and raises new questions for future scholarly exploration.



Expert authors critically analyse what the current literature tells us about important phenomena related to judicial politics, while simultaneously expanding the scope of that knowledge through original empirical research. Chapters cover the process of judicial decision-making in different types of courts, before discussing the electoral dimensions of judicial appointments, as well as vertical and horizontal constraints on judicial behaviour. They also address extrajudicial communications, public opinion and legitimacy, before concluding with an examination of methodological issues in judicial politics research.



Accessibly written, the Research Handbook on Judicial Politics is a vital resource for graduate and undergraduate students of law, political science and public policy. It is also beneficial to practitioners in law and law related fields who are interested in gaining insight into the processes and structure of the judiciary.

Industry Reviews
'Fix and Montgomery have accomplished what, so far, judicial scholars have not. They bring together a variety of scholars who analyze courts within and beyond the U.S. and who employ a variety of methodological approaches to help scholars and court watchers alike better understand judges, the judicial process, and judicial decision making. Their efforts, and their team of writers, are highly impressive and should be commended for their addition to the field.' -- Timothy R. Johnson, University of Minnesota, US
