Synopsis:

Providing an overview of judicial processes at the state and federal levels, the latest edition of this text assesses such timely topics as the changing role of courts in the war on terrorism, affirmative action, gay and lesbian rights, and business regulation. It also contains a report on the voting patterns of the US trial court judges appointed by President Bush, comparing the decisions of the district court jurists with those appointed by other presidents to determine the relative ideological balance of the Bush judiciary. The text is intended as a primary text for courses in judicial process and behavior but also could serve as supplemental reading in political science classes in constitutional law, American government, and law and society, or in law-related courses in sociology, history, psychology, and criminology.

Review: Judicial Process in America provides a wonderful approach to studying the courts and judicial process. The authors clearly lay out the structure, process, important players, and the political and societal influences involved in American courts. Carp, Stidham, and Manning incorporate a sound mix of contemporary and classic judicial research to support their well-rounded thesis. Undergraduate students find the book understandable yet challenging. The straightforward approach, without the glossy fluff found in other texts, makes the book appropriate for upper-level undergraduates or beginning graduate students." --Matthew S. Crow, University of West Florida
