Description: This volume offers perspectives from political scientists, legal scholars, and practicing judges as they seek to answer the question of how much law actually has to do with judicial behavior and decision-making, and what it means for society at large.

Review Quotes: "Geyh (associate dean for research and John F. Kimberling professor of law, Indiana Univ. School of Law) is well qualified to edit this reader about the interaction of law and politics in contemporary society. The contributors to this reader are among the very best scholars in the legal and political science realm. . . The writing is lively and easy to follow for the somewhat sophisticated reader. . . Highly recommended."--R.A. Carp, Choice
