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."--Cass Sunstein, University of Chicago "Decision Making in the U.S. Courts of Appeals" is a fascinating, indeed seminal, piece of work full of often surprising insights. Any serious political scientist and interdisciplinary legal academic will have to read this book and confront its careful, meticulously designed arguments and evidence."--Sanford Levinson, University of Texas |
