About this title

Synopsis

Written by one of the nation's most astute observers of the court, this classic text examines the theory, practice, and people behind the judicial process in the United States, England and France. The new sixth edition brings the work completely up to date by examining important developments and structural changes in these three judicial systems during the late eighties and early nineties, including the ascension of four new Justices to the U.S. Supreme Court and changes in the jurisdiction of the federal courts, significant structural and organizational changes in all three court systems, and important developments in judicial review and the judicial role generally. At once comparative, expository, analytical, and evaluative, this new edition of The Judicial Process illuminates even more vividly the judiciary's political, legal, and governmental roles and closely examines that much-debated but little-understood line between "judicial activism" and "judicial restraint."
