Course Information

Section Id	: PS511
Name	: Judicial Politics, Process, and Policy Making
Program	: Humanities & Liberal Arts
Program Detail	: This course introduces students the role of the judiciary in American politics and policymaking and explores the questions asked and the methods employed by political scientists studying courts and the legal system. An equally important objective of this course is to familiarize students with the seminal works in judicial research. Judicial scholarship, like other subfields of political science, has experienced some dramatic transformations over the past 50 years with respect to the kinds of questions that have been asked by researchers, the methods that have been utilized to study the courts, and the "variables" that have been investigated. All of these studies have sought to improve the understanding of judicial institutions, their processes and participants, the development of law through cases and litigation, and the role of law and courts in the larger political arena and social environment.
